We were two friends staying in Barcelona for a few days. The location was great - plenty of restaurants and bars right outside and the beach was not far (walkable). Even though the host Vicente sometimes stops into the apartment to get something, otherwise we felt like we had the place to yourself and it was very private. Vicente is also a great host and will give you recommendations for bars, clubs, restaurants, transit locations - whatever you need! We didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment anyways as there is so much to do in Barcelona, but the apartment has what you need.
