Albin and his partner were wonderful hosts. They made everything quite clear and were friendly and welcoming. The bed is firm and comfortable with good sheets, there is a lounging area that we liked, and the dresser is large enough to fit all your clothes. There is a book case filled with art books and Barcelona tourist info laid out on top in case you want to go on a day trip or figure out the transportation systems. There is a list of good area restaurants In the top drawer of the dresser, as well as a clothing iron and umbrella. The washroom is stocked well for visitors with toiletries, including spf 50 for those who are easily burnt :-) We were provided with a bottle of cava and water in the fridge, as well as access to the stove top and dishes. The toilet room was always well stocked with toilet paper and baby wipes. There was an issue with the bed frame when we arrived due to no fault of theirs and it was fixed quickly and professionally. The room is perfect for a couple, with a beautiful little balcony that overlooks a small courtyard. There is no air conditioning, but with the balcony door and THE MOST AMAZING FAN EVER (quiet and powerful) we were comfortable when in the room. There is not a lock on the door but we were never disturbed and our privacy was respected. Albin made sure the room had fresh flowers and a clean trash bag. He also checked in occasionally to make sure everything was copacetic. The wifi was spotty, so I wouldn't recommend for something like a business trip where you need consistent connection. You will share the washroom/toilet/kitchen with Albin and his partner but we rarely crossed paths. If you have problems going up steps, be aware there is no elevator and it's a 4th floor walk-up. The entry way is dark, so make sure you have a light on your phone so you can see where the switch is in the entrance. All in all, a great stay in a very central neighborhood. Getting to la rambla is just steps away but you'll have a lot more fun exploring the back streets in the area. Enjoy your stay at this wonderful apartment!!
