The apartment is about 30mins by walk to the Gothic quarter (my favorite part of the city) and its very near to poble-sec metro station, around 3mins. Its one metro away from placa espanya as well. There is a bakery in front of the apartment and grocery stores and fruit stores nearby. The apartment is well kept, I noticed that she likes to keep her place clean but she has a tendency to be delicate. My husband accidentally put the small bottle of shampoo on the wall (BTW it's our shampoo which we took as well when we left) and then the next morning she left a note in the sink not to put the shampoo in the wall. The whole time we stayed there, we where wary that we might be too noisy or do something not to her liking which can be uncomfortable. Aside from that, the room is not that big but it's enough for me and my husband. The shower area is not that big but it's manageable. The shower and the toilet are in separate area. Plus points for the kitchen with the fridge. Also, I like the dining area it has a vintage vibe to it. Mine you, the apartment is on the 1st floor (ground floor then 1st floor) so it's +steps we had to carry our big luggages, my fault for I never pack light.
