The apartment was a great value for the price and exactly what we expected. The location was fantastic, and the apartment was clean, quiet (except for the occasional neighbor) and had all of the basic amenities we would need for our long weekend in Barcelona. The host was not very prompt at answering emails before our arrival but luckily we finally heard back the day before we were leaving. We didn't have a problem with all of the stairs but I was a bit surprised not to read about them in either the apartment description or in any comments. If someone has trouble with stairs, I would not recommend this apartment. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and the apartment was a lovely little hideaway to return to at the end of a long day of touring :)
