Our stay at Ester's place was fantastic. The location could not have been any better. It was right near the sagrada familia as pictured/described. There was a supermarket across the street and a metro stop as well as a hop on hop off bus stop within 2-3 blocks. She was there to greet us when we arrived, showed us how to use all the appliances, and explained other procedures as well as provided some tourist advice. We were happy that she left us some milk, coffee, cereal, cheese and ham to start the stay. We had a dishwasher (with some pods left as well) but washed our dishes for 2 by hand. The place was very clean and also had the benefit of a washer and dryer. It was spacious as well and accommodated 2 of us very well. The TV channels were a little difficult to manage, but you don't go on vacation to watch TV. We would happily stay there again for how spacious it was and the great location. The part time doorman was friendly and helpful. The walk to the city center (plaza catalunya) was also fairly easy. We made it in 20 minutes without our luggage, and in 35 minutes or so with our bags. One of the medicine cabinets in one of the bathrooms even had some basic 1st aid equipment. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the nice balcony. There were enough restaurants and bakeries nearby.
