Sha/host was easy to communicate with -- clear and timely. I appreciated the airport arrival instructions. Apartment was in a super location just 2 blocks from the beach, about an 8 minute walk to the subway line (L4), and steps from Rambla Poblanou which is a great pedestrian corridor with shops, restaurants and cafes (try out El 58 and Bitacora if you get the chance). If you are looking for a local experience, this is a fantastic neighborhood. It was convenient for our purposes (not wanting to be super touristy, but still have access to the must see places) and felt safe at all hours of the day and night.
Apartment was comfortable for us (2 adults; and 2 kids -- 12 and 9 yrs old). Larger room had a queen bed, A/C and ensuite bathroom. Second room had a double bed (OK for kids to share, might be tight for another couple). No A/C in this room so kids slept with the door open to get the A/C from the living space. That worked fine because overall the apartment doesn't heat up during the day (even in the summer; we had the A/C off during the day when we were out). There is a second bathroom. Didn't cook, but used the small fridge, counter space and a few dishes.
The amenities list a washer and a dryer (one of the reasons I picked it). The washer is fine but the dryer is actually a clothes line on the balcony. I realize that most people may dry their clothes like this but we were on a tight schedule and didn't necessarily have time to wait for the sun to hit the balcony (mid-late afternoon) so if you do the wash at night, the clothes will not be dry in the AM (especially in the summer when it can be a bit humid out). There was a laundrymat less than 2 blocks away that was open until 10pm so we just took the clothes to dry there.
Since we did plan to be at the beach, I appreciated the available beach umbrella, beach towel and a beach bag to hold all of our gear. That was a nice touch.
Overall, we had a great stay. Sha was professional, his rules and tips were helpful, and the apartment fit our needs.
