Excellent rental all around! Book it!Maria was the perfect host, communicating with me months in advance. She was extremely helpful and very accommodating, especially when allowing us to check-in hours ahead of schedule. She was extremely personable, understanding, and had many great recommendations for places to see, things to do, and awesome restaurants to grab a drink and some tapas.The apartment itself was super clean and well appointed. The rooms were comfortable and very nicely decorated. The place was freshly painted and really attractive overall. There was a good sized kitchen and dining area, though the best part of the entire place might be the large terrace/balcony where you could enjoy a meal in the nice weather.The neighborhood seemed very safe and quiet. The apartment building is gated and the lobby doors are always locked. The street it’s on is not busy with vehicular traffic and is quite pedestrian friendly. All this, and yet the place is centrally located; very close to restaurants, shops, bakeries, supermarkets, and the must-see Mercat de Sant Antoni. The Metro stop and main street where you can catch the bus or a taxi are a block and a half away. It’s quite walkable to everything you might need and not too far from the city’s popular attractions.We did not need to do laundry though the option was there. There’s a TV with local and cable channels, Netflix, etc. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. The apartment has a strong air conditioning unit if needed.
