Our family of 4 (kids 12,16) loved staying in this fabulous location--not right in the centre, but in a quieter but interesting area with plenty of cafes and 10 minute walk to popular Pinchos, Carrer Blai, 20 min walk to Pl Catalunya.
Maria was very proactive and helpful. She contacted us ahead of our visit and gave us advice about getting to the apartment. She was waiting for us outside at midnight and waived our late fee since it was outside of our control. Maria then explained everything about getting into the building, using the small lift and all the features of the apartment, including the TV, coffee machine and a box of Horchata to try. Maria also gave us a mini Metro map and explained where to go. During the stay, we also contacted Maria on What's App for recommendations for food and pools and took the time to provide useful tips and called us a taxi at the end and waited for us to get in.
The apartment was spacious and nicely decorated with everything we needed. Our favourite part was the plant-filled terrace, where we could eat and drink at the long table in comfortable chairs, looking out at a spectacular view of the neighbourhood street and high rise buildings, making us feel like we were living in Barcelona for a bit, rather than just visiting. Also handy to have a washing machine and washing line.
Our only disappointment is that is was too hot at night in bedrooms; the AC was only in the kitchen. But we had a great time and were grateful for Maria's help.
