Cristina was very quick in her responses for the booking, in fact we managed to book the apartment within 24 hours, 2 months in advance. Cristina's Place is just few minutes away from the metro station Parallel and a 5 min walk from La Rambla. Nevertheless being situated away from the main road, the flat is very quiet during the day and at night. The flat is only a short walk away from Placa de Espanya which is one of the main stop of the aerobus service from El Prat. Perfectly located both for tourist activities and for a relaxing holiday of sun and sea. Although the most crowded beaches like Mar bella and Barceloneta require the metro, the equally pleasant beach by the W hotel is easily accessible with a nice walk. The apartment is spacious and offers plenty of space as indicated on the listing. We mainly dealt with Mari, Cristina's friend, as Cristina was not in Barcelona, and apparently Mari is in charge of English speaking costumers. She was very helpful and really nice... We had no problem with the check in or check out and in fact Mari was very accommodating with our time schedule for both. There is a tourist tax (i think is about 70 cents per day per person) to pay at the end which is reinforced by the Barcelona tourist office so don't be surprised if this comes up once you are there. A supermarket is conveniently located just around the corner hence no problem in getting supplies even as a last minute thing before dinner or in the morning for breakfast. I would definitely recommend this apartment for its location and price.
