Our host welcomed us promptly as our taxi arrived from the airport and showed us around the apartment and surrounding buildings. The apartment had a 24 hour guard which was reassuring. The view from the balcony was amazing; overlooking the park (which you could follow all the way into the old city) and consisted of the Hemisferic, Science Museum, Palau de les Arts and Oceanografic. The apartment itself was clean, spacious and well equipped. The pool was adequate with some chairs to sit on. Unfortunately, the ongoing works on the building opposite meant we did not benefit from the morning sun on the balcony and rarely used the pool. However, the bus stop was right outside and we ventured to the beach and main city most days, and took a taxi home. We would highly recommend eating at Panorama near the Port, as well as Destino 56 and Gabana both on the beach. I am lactose intolerant and the restaurants catered well as did the local supermarket. I would recommend this apartment for a City break.
