This is a fantastic apartment, and Laia is an ideal host.

The description of the apartment and the previous reviews are accurate, so I will highlight just a few items that really stood out to me:

1) The apartment is clean, spacious, well-lit, and quiet. It's a great place to relax when you're not sightseeing. The design and furnishings of the apartment are cute and artistic. Laia had artistic control over the renovation, and she decorated the place with an assortment of vintage pieces and more lamps than I could count. The apartment has character.

2) Transportation is easy, especially if you prefer walking. The apartment is a 10-15 minute walk from the Block of Discord, about 15 minutes from Ramblas, even just 25 minutes to the Sagrada Familia. Placa de Catalunya is 5-10 minutes away and is a transport hub; you can get everywhere in the city from there via bus or metro. Basically, the apartment was in the center of the action if you're interested in sightseeing, culture, etc.

3) Central heating is an outstanding feature for times when it's chilly outside. Just set the thermostat and forget about it, there's no need to manage individual space heaters. Central heating allows you to stay cozy during winter even while occasionally opening a window for some fresh air.

4) Laia herself was always very responsive, and she addressed every question and solved every issue within a very short time. She is extremely accessible and enthusiastic.

Overall, I would happily stay at Laia's apartment again, and I would recommend her apartment to friends.
