Melissa's place was wonderful to stay in. The name says cozy but it was a happy surprise when I arrived and I found it to be a very spacious apartment. There is a working washer and dryer as advertised and everything was very clean and modern looking. The balconies are typical for Barcelona and it was nice to be able to step out and enjoy the air and scene outside. I felt safe walking around this area during the day and night, public transportation was conveniently located, and you can walk to all the major attractions if you want to. I slept on the sofa bed and had a very good night's rest in case anyone was worried. The hosts were great and accommodated our early arrival time and quickly responded anytime I had any questions. I would definitely recommend!
