About Rita Fryer

Pleased to meet you! We love the location of our apartment - right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter - walking distance from just about everything. We have lived in Catalonia for over twenty years. Rita spent 20 years in the hotel business worldwide and understands what travellers want. John is an international art consultant. We want to help you enjoy this wonderful city by making you feel right at home in very comfortable surroundings.

Rita Fryer purchased this apartment in 2003
Why Rita Fryer chose Barrio Gotico

Barcelona is such a great city! We both visited Barcelona before we met and had an instant love affair with the city and its people. We wanted to buy an apartment which we could use to explore Barcelona and experience with sights, sounds and aromas that make Barcelona such a great place to visit. There is no place so emblematic than Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and we chose an apartment that gives us the comfort of home within walking distance to all the sights in the historic part of the city.

What makes this apartment unique

Location, location, location! We love strolling over to the famous Ramblas and visiting the incredible La Boquería market, which is over 150 years old! Most of our favourite restaurants are just minutes away by foot or taxi. We love walking along the boardwalk on the Barceloneta beach at sunset.

This apartment was even better that we expected. It was beautifully decorated and the extra touches added throughout made this party of 4 feel right at home for our10 day stay. The location was ideal--cafes and restaurants, excellent shopping and historic sights all within walking distance of the front door. There was a Metro stop 2 blocks away. We felt totally safe in this residential area night and day. Many evenings we would stroll the streets for a charming dining spot close by. The management was terrific, easy to reach and very accommodating when we had a question or a problem. We would recommend this apartment to our most discriminating friends and family members and would gladly stay here again when we return to Barcelona.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for choosing our apartment and for your kind words! We try very hard to make Merce 21 a real home from home so our guests can enjoy the city in comfort.

Best customer service of anywhere we've stayed! Greeted upon arrival and shown the apartment and all amenities. Given a bottle of wine to welcome us to Barcelona. Plenty of room for our whole family. The apartment is very clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Great location- easy walking distance to the Born, the beach, La Rambla...
A 10 out of 10.

Excellent apartment for a family visit

5 of 5

We had an excellent experience staying at Rita and John's apartment. The level of contact and the friendly and hugely efficient way that Rita communicated throughout, even from the first enquiry, filled us with confidence. We were not disappointed - a beautiful and well equipped (and so, so clean) property. We had top service from Natalie, the lady who met us there and showed us round. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

We have 3 children, the youngest of whom is just 2.

Highly recommended.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on your stay. Cleanliness and comfort are our top priorities! Traveling with a little one is always more complicated and we try hard to make the apartment as child-friendly as possible. So very pleased you enjoyed your stay - please come back soon!

A wonderful place to stay in Barcelona

5 of 5
Submitted: January 16, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
We spent 2 wonderful weeks in this gorgeous apartment in October of 2011. Our son is studying in Barcelona and this gave us the opportunity to take the entire family to Spain.

The location of the apartment is perfect and the best in Barcelona. It is on a quiet, pedestrian only street. Nearby are fabulous tapas restaurants, bottle shops, and some of the best grocery shops and markets Barcelona has to offer. The expansive beach and most of the famous attractions are only a short walk away.

The apartment itself is even larger and more spacious than shown on the website. There is a wonderful attention to detail, a well-equipped kitchen with new appliances, beautiful ceramic tiles, classy carpets and hardwood floors. The bathroom even has towel warmers. The beds, pillows and sheets are very comfortable. The window shutters make the rooms really dark and extremely quiet, ideal for sleeping. There is plenty of closet space. The dining room table was big enough to comfortably accommodate 8 people, my family and friends of my son’s for dinners. The sofa and love seat in the living room are extremely comfortable and spacious. The internet worked well and is fast. We were too busy sightseeing to ever turn on the cable TV. An added benefit was the elevator, much appreciated by my 80 year old father.

We highly recommend this apartment to anyone planning to spend time in exciting and vivacious Barcelona.
Owner's Response: Dear Christina. We very much appreciate you taking the time to post your review. This helps us improve and offer a better service to our clients. We are delighted you had such a good time in Barcelona and that our apartment worked well for you. We try very hard to make you feel at home. Please come back!

All we had hoped for...

5 of 5
Submitted: June 23, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
When we watched the video and viewed the photos on line, we hoped it was an accurate reflection. It was that and more. The appartment was clean and we felt safe in the area. The furniture and appliances were all we needed while on vacation. The high ceiling in the living room and door to the balcony are gorgeous!

Our contact person in Barcelona was very helpful, particularly when one in our group fell ill.

The location was ideal for us. It was close to La Rambla, the metro and excellent restaurants. For beach lovers, it's close to the port.

I have already recommended this to friends and family.
