All through the booking process Paola responded quickly in a friendly manner to all our queries. Though we didn't meet Paola, her friend was there to greet us and give us a run down on how everything worked - all absolutely fine!

The apartment was ideally located for us to get to, and return from, the Barcelona marathon - which was the reason we were visiting the city. There are several small shops locally for us to top up on our supplies and a couple of great small bars (for after the race!) where we had tapas and wine. Lovely! The apartment is walking distance from La Ramla and a great many of the key tourist spots.

The apartment is simply decorated and equipped but this was perfectly adequate for our needs. We were four and so each had a room; having two showers was convenient and the kitchen facilities were perfectly fine for breakfasts and simple suppers.

It may be worth noting that there was some late night noise from the street which was heard in two of the bedrooms - take earplugs and you'll be fine!
