Andrea and Jesse were the perfect hosts, and their space is conveniently located and so full of character. There was ample space to hang out in the living room and patio area, which had cushy beanbag furniture that were perfect to lounge on after a day of exploring -- we definitely took quick siestas during our stay! The artwork were definitely conversation pieces - the dining table vase is incredible!
Each of the three bedrooms had a queen-sized bed, and while the bedrooms were on the smaller size, we didn't spend much time in them except to sleep. Each of the bedrooms had air conditioning, but we didn't feel the need to use it much during our mid-late October stay - we turned it on for maybe five minutes before going to bed because there is some outside noise from a restaurant across the street and we didn't want to open the windows. We generally had no complaints about the bathrooms - the only thing I would mention is that water pressure for the showers wasn't great, especially when the showers were being used at the same time. I think this issue was more apparent in the shower farthest from the bedrooms. The same bathroom (farthest from the bedrooms) could also do with a small update - a few water spots on the shower floor might be off-putting to some people. A little bit of refreshing could make the space feel more comfortable, but otherwise it was fine. The apartment is definitely in an older building, and some of the things are a little dated - the kitchen sink is a little rickety, but it works and wasn't an issue.
In terms of communicating with Andrea and Jesse, they were so easy to get in touch with, and super thoughtful. They answered all of our questions, and when I informed them that there was no extra toilet paper, they sent over more than enough, as well as treats for us to enjoy. They kept in touch with us during the check-in process, and met us at the apartment on our arrival to give us a tour of the space. The personal touches made our stay special. Andrea and Jesse make you feel safe and secure, and our stay was super easy. We would definitely consider staying here again on a subsequent trip to Barcelona!
