Our stay at Laia's place was great! We stayed for 16 nights and can safely say that we found the location to be extremely close to everything and within comfortable walking distance. We also cooked several meals during our stay and found everything we needed in the kitchen. There is a bar directly across the street from the apartment, and some light sleepers can find it a bit noisy but did not bother us any, and I am sure a white noise machine would be perfect too. The washer/dryer is a lifesaver and reduces the need to over-pack! Laia has thought of everything you may need and even has some power converters and extra soap just in case you forget! Laia was an awesome host, great suggestions, and stayed in communication throughout our stay. If you need a place in Barcelona, book now!!
