Could not be happier with this place and our hosts. Stay here if you get the chance, full stop. This place is obviously cared for by everyone involved. It is also obviously NOT run by a large company with lots of properties, in that they clearly have the time to care for the place, their guests' experience and their communication with their guests. Nothing went wrong, but I suspect if anything had gone wrong the hosts would have been on it in no time. The hosts communicate in a frank, constant yet 100% unobtrusive way. Now the details. The area is amazing: central yet quiet. In a skip and a hop you can find yourself in the gothic quarter, most museums, most architectural landmarks or taking a casual stroll uptown. You are in the middle of the action, yet you are on a pedestrian street with no perceptible street noise. The decor is clean yet full of personality, artful yet not cliché (no large prints of Casa Milà). The apartment is not super large, but feels plenty spacious and warm at the same time. It is conveniently climatized and there are zero issues with the bathrooms, showers, or appliances. In other words: everything works. The elevator is small but sufficient. I would only advise that if you are traveling with strollers you make sure you bring them small enough to fit in a small elevator. The kitchen is fully equipped. Everyone that came to visit, including life-long locals, were impressed by the warmth and cleanliness of the place. All of this, also, I might add, without the ostentatious touches that so many of Barcelona's more luxury-leaning rental properties seem to reaort to. Would I stay here again? What do you think.
