Location, location, location. Living here was extremely convenient to catch all the nearby attractions and to fall in love with Barcelona. The host was accommodating, and the place was pretty much what we expected. Plus, it was right by some really good bakeries and a small store to buy some necessities. Some warnings, however, include needing to buy some toiletries, napkins, and some soap. Also, the washing machine may take more loads than you expect and the TV may also take some more loads than you expect. All the more reason to go out and explore the wonderful city.
