When we arrived in Barcelona, it was already dark and I didn't have an idea of where we really were situated in town. Fidel met us at the door with keys and info on the apt. It was really clean, and in the morning we were able to see where we were. I liked being in a part of town that was more local than touristy. SInce we live outside NYC, it was easy for us to navigate around by metro. Fidel made a list of nice restaurants around the apt which we did go to. Happily. The area was very safe and it seemed really easy to walk to many of the places we wanted to go. Twice to the Palace of Art , to some of Gaudi's homes, to shopping and wide boulevards. (You will need a cab to the Park Guell)

The apt itself had all we needed. Top floor had a terrace we used more than once. We were four, two adults and two teens. I do wish I had had another bathroom ( hence one less star but that is just my preference, not a criticism of the apt) but the one there was spacious. The AC worked well. I liked the "Rear Window" aspect of the apt. From your windows, You could see all across the four sides of the large interior plaza and see families living life in Barcelona apts.

The apt's street is busy but the apt has no front facing windows so it it VERY quiet! The apt looks just as it does in the pictures. I would say it's about 400 square feet.

The second bedroom has a bunkbed with a double on top. This room does not have a window to the outside but is lit by a window to the airway. My daughter was fine. My son slept on the couch and was comfortable.

I loved Barcelona. You walk a lot. We did so much in four days it was wonderful. I love taking part of vrbo apts because you get to see how people really live in town. Plus, with four people, you can't get enough room in a hotel in Europe. They don't do the two king size bed thing and that means booking two rooms. With an apt like this, you get public space and a kitchen, terrace, as well. I would definitely recommend this apt.

It was also clear that Fidel would have provided info or attention to anything else you needed.

Oh, a taxi stop was nearly across the street. That helped in the morning on the way to the airport. (24 euros)
