The flat is in excellent condition, is beautifully decorated and arranged. The owner made us feel very welcome.

The location is also wonderful. It is in a quiet spot, just around the corner from the beautiful basilica, Santa Maria del Mar, which has a lovely plaza. It is also 5 minutes walk from El Borne, an area where mostly locals go to dine and drink. The area in general is one of my favourites in Barcelona. It is very central, but away from where most of the tourists go!

One aspect of the flat which I think is worth mentioning - there are two sleeping areas/bedrooms, and not much privacy between the two (an archway and curtain provides the separation between the rooms). I should emphasise that this was not a problem for us, and we would stay there again, if allowed!
