Rosa was a great host even before we arrived in Barcelona. She was quick to answer all my questions and emails. We requested early check-in (straight from the airport), and since there were no guests the night before, she met us early to let us in.

Location was perfect, right off Las Ramblas, La Boqueria and the metro (Liceu station). There is a little market around the corner and a wonderful bakery across the street with delicious bread, pastries and sandwiches.

The apartment looked exactly like the pictures. It was clean, and had more than enough room for 4 adults. The kitchen was fully equipped, and although we didn't have the chance to cook, we used the refrigerator and microwave (to heat up our take out left-overs). Towels, sheets/blankets, hair blow-dryer, iron and ironing board were provided. We brought our own electric plug adapter, but it would be a plus if it were provided for others who didn't have one.

There was late-night party noise outside, but it didn't bother us even though the bedroom was right above the street. We felt safe while in the apartment as there was a secured gated entrance from the street.

One thing that my husband thought was weird was that we had to throw our own garbage before we checked-out of the apartment, but overall, it was a great place to stay, and we would recommend it to friends and family.
