This place is really nice and spacious, and was very clean. The location is about 3 miles from the center of Barcelona, but there is a metro station 1 block away from the apartment that will get you to the city center in 10 minutes. I felt very safe in the neighborhood, it was around locals rather than tourists so it was nice to get to experience of what it's like to live there among the locals. There is a nice plaza right next to the apartment with plenty of good restaurants and bars that are less expensive than those closer to the city center.

I had a couple of issues with my experience with this listing. Firstly, before I even arrived, the host kept asking me for my passport number and the passport numbers of the other guests staying in the apartment. I asked AirBnb if it was necessary and they said it wasn't, but the host was going to cancel my reservation if I didn't give it to him. It wasn't listed as part of the requirements before I made the reservation so it came as a surprise to me. I'm still not sure why it was needed, but the host told me he needed it to register with the apartment building.

Another issue I had was with some extra fees that I was asked to pay in addition to the charges I paid for when I made the reservation. One was a 35 euro charge because I arrived at the apartment after 8pm. My flight was delayed and I arrived around 9pm and I was charged for that. It wasn't my fault that my flight was delayed, but I still had to pay the fee. Upon leaving, I also had to pay a 15 euro "tourist fee" that is supposedly exclusive to Barcelona listings. All of these fees are listed in the fine print of this listing so I couldn't get a refund, but I would just suggest for future guests to be wary of them!

Otherwise, this apartment was a good place to stay and experience both the local and tourist parts of Barcelona.
