Apartment Toscanini Review (Barcelona)

Skye and I rented Toscanini Apartment for a week in Barcelona through Friendly Rentals.  (Click for link to website & pictures of Apartment).   It was right in the heart of Eixample, which is a great area of Barcelona to stay in.  I would highly recommend this apartment.  The price was great, the location was great & it was modern and clean and had an elevator.  We had access to our own private roof deck with fantastic views.  The building itself was very quiet.   Across the street there was a market and a grocery store.  And when I say market, I mean like the largest green market you have ever seen.    The apartment was a little smaller than it appeared on the website due to the wide-angle lens used to take the pictures, but otherwise the pictures were extraordinarily accurate.   I am sure that any apartment you rented from Friendly Rentals would be great.  I would definitely rent through them again. 

Renting an apartment can be done for as few as 3 days.  You can stay longer & make day trips to the Costa Brava or surrounding areas, or if you just want a taste of what Barcelona has to offer, 3 days is a great amount of time.    Having an apartment will only enhance your experience.  Being able to take home and eat the food in the Boquerias will make you wish our green markets were larger.  It gives organic a whole new meaning.  YUM!
