Esther was great. The apartment was beautiful, but it's extremely unique space that required a little bit of an adventurous mindset on our end.

A few things I would note: the ceilings in some rooms were low and doorframes were small - my boyfriend is 6'3" and he hit his head quite a few times. I'm 5'11" and I never did. Be cautious here if you're over about 6'.

Yes, there are a lot of stairs. I was most worried about going up them with my suitcase, but Esther met us and swooped in to grab my suitcase as soon as we got there. After a day of traveling it was REALLY appreciated - not the crazy painful ordeal I was worried about at all. I was OK to climb them even after coming home at 6AM after Primavera Sound.

This apartment is right in the middle of maybe the best neighborhood in Barcelona. El Born is amazing. Best food, best nightlife, best hip/cool local shops, I want to go back right now. You really can't ask for a better location for a 20/30-something.

The layout is crazy - it's a rooftop apartment that's BEAUTIFULLY decorated and extremely romantic.

We had some issues with mosquitos due to some open water containers on the roof and the fact that none of the doors are sealed - however Esther was able to work with us to handle everything and they got better.
