Communication with the host was easy. They met us at the apartment when we arrived. Everything was in working order and explained to the level of detail needed. We have stayed nearby on another trip. This location is perfect, 1 block from Plaza Catalunia. We were comfortable here, internet was fast, everything worked well for the two of us. I would have no problem staying here with two couples, either. The building and apartment were very secure. 2 small grocery stores were downstairs, as was a cafe, a few minute walk to the Rambla. We would absolutely rent this place again if we returned and would recommend to other prospective renters.
