Juanmi's place worked very well for our family of four's recent first visit to Barcelona. The apartment was very much as advertised and Juanmi was an excellent host who met us on arrival and shared a lot of helpful information about the apartment and the neighborhood. Juanmi was also very responsive in answering a couple questions we had about the city and getting around. I knew the apartment was centrally located and close to Plaza de Catalunya but I didn't fully appreciate how great the neighborhood was until we were there - lots of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops (groceries downstairs!). We mostly walked to the neighborhoods and attractions we wanted to check out (e.g. Gaudi sites, Picasso Museum etc) but were glad the transit station was nearby when we didn't want to walk home. We were also very happy to have the washer/dryer in the apartment as we had been traveling for the better part of a week and had packed light.
