The host (Clementine) was very nice and spent time answering questions about the apt. and area. She had cheese, bread, cherries and champagne waiting for us which was very welcoming. We felt good in that we could call on her or Enrique anytime for questions and advice. The safe was not operable when we arrived but after a few days it was fixed. The listing pictures are exactly as they appear. The apt. was very clean and updated. Very comfortable! The neighborhood was nice, with a grocery store very near and a coffee shop in front. We felt safe there although my husband was pickpocketed close by in his front pocket first day we were there. My advice is to stay away from smaller roads in this area. I know this can happen anywhere, we travel a lot and are very vigilant in keeping our belongings safe. We were lucky this time, they only took his cell phone. I would stay in this apartment again when I return to Barcelona. Host was very responsive and helpful with all emails.
