The property matched the description, it was also a good size, great location, beautifully clean, with everything you might need for cooking and laundry too. It's less than five minutes walk to either the back of the fantastic Boqueria market or La Rambla and close to some first-class restaurants. There's an artisanal beer bar near the end of the street and an excellent bakery across the road. Lian, the host, met us a few minutes early and provided us with some recommendations so we were not short of choice for Spanish food.
The property is quite noisy inside because the walls and ceilings are thin - not a great choice for light sleepers. Other than that, we were very happy with our stay
