We enjoyed our stay at Vanessa's place in Barcelona, and believe the apartment has a lot to offer for the price : it is tastefully decorated, well equipped and has a great terrace. Overall: quite comfortable.

Minor inconveniences: the apartment is a bit tighter / narrower than we would've liked, and the neighbourhood, while safe, is not very picturesque. Hot water was an issue, as the shower reserve runs out of it after approx 15 mins, and it takes some 30'ish mins to get it back.

There is a metro line right around the corner, and it has the benefit of running up La Rambla, so you can stop either closer to Barceloneta or more downton at Catalunya. Timewise it's about a 10-15 min ride, depending on the last stop.

Vanessa was a good host, always responsive within a short time. Apartment handover was done very well and everything explained properly. No issues there.

TL;DR: good apartment for the price in a safe but not very good looking area some 10-15 mins off city center by metro . Very professional host. Recommended.
