“I exchanged with Margarida and her family in July 2013. Everything went very smoothly and Margarida was very helpful. The flat is on 3rd floor with a lift and is literally 2 minutes away from the famous Ramblas. The location really couldn't be better and we spent many hours wandering through the old city streets and exploring the area. Choose from countless tapas bars all full of wonderful food and friendly waiters. An excellent base for exploring the wonderful city of Barcelona. Although in the pedestrian zone, be warned that it is quite noisy, skateboarders abound, deliveries every evening around 8, city street cleaners later in the evening. This did not bother us as we were out and about most of the time, but light sleepers might want to take ear plugs! ;) - Barcelona remains one of my favourite cities and I would not hesitate to return again - there is so much to see and do I don't think you can ever say you've seen everything. Don't miss the magic fountain - but make sure to check the days it runs before you go - it does not operate every day - spectacular :) Thoroughly recommended !!”
