This was a clean apartment with all necessary items in a residential part of Barcelona. We were welcomed by Alex’s assistant and cleaning lady who was very kind and showed us the good local cafés and shops on a map. She was able to accommodate our early arrival (late morning) which was appreciated! The mattresses were good and the place was very clean. All the essentials were in the kitchen. Good elevator and wifi. We found that the neighbors were pretty quiet and the neighborhood was relatively quiet for Barcelona. We use a noisemaker to sleep which helps when we travel. It was an easy walk to Parc Guell. The place is well served by buses but the subway was a good 10 minutes away (uphill to return - the neighborhood is in the hills). It was often 45 minutes to get back from central Barcelona by public transport so that’s to take into account; however, the price is cheaper than similar lodgings in the center so you need to decide what’s important. I recommend reserving a taxi on your own if you need one well in advance as both times when I called the number given by the host I was informed that there were no available taxis in my area (near the apartment) nor were there any VTCs (using the app for the local VTC in Barcelona). It would also be best to do any reservations to go to the airport yourself to avoid any language barriers or misunderstandings with the host.
