Barbara was there to welcome us and show us around the apartment. The apartment was lovely with lots of space and it's own dressing room! The kitchen had all the basics and was stocked with olive oil, herbs, sugar, salt etc sufficient to make a meal. Likewise the fridge had eggs, butter, jam, water and even a bottle of wine. The neighbourhood was good and sitting on the back terrace gave you a feeling of being in the community, the real Barcelona. Having a little supermarket 2 doors away was brilliant for fresh bread, cheap, but good wine and all the essentials you could ever need. To walk to University Square took about 5 minutes walking and to Catalonia Square where the bus tours start and the top of La Rambla about 15 minutes. We would recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to stay in an apartment for 2 or easily 4 friends still maintaining privacy from each other.
