The host was incredibly helpful, and met us at the apartment to show us around and give us keys within an hour of emailing to see if it was available. After getting situated, we began exploring and didn't cease to wander for the whole week we stayed in Barcelona. The apartment is in a perfect location--right in the center of Bario Gotico--and felt safe and secure. The kitchen was awesome to have for cooking breakfast, and the balcony made for some lovely morning light and an easy way to get some fresh air. The hammocks were also such a wonderful way to relax after so much time spent on our feet. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, and was a convenient stop to come back to between adventures. I highly recommend this apartment if you're wanting to explore the old-town in Barcelona! It is surrounded by incredible tapas restaurants, local boutique shops, and the typical laid-back Spanish vibe.
