Communication with the host was great! The management company was very responsive and helpful. Ali met us for check-in which was a breeze and she even accommodated our last minute change of arrival time without a problem. The apartment is in a perfect location for enjoying Barcelona, particularly the Gothic Quarter (the best part!), and is right next to a metro line if you want to go visit some of the attractions a little further out. I was a little concerned about it's close proximity to Las Ramblas but the apartment was well insulated from the noise of the crowds. The bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms were very comfortable, nice, modern and clean. The living room furniture wasn't the most comfortable but we were there to explore the city, not sit in the apartment anyways. The wifi was fast and reliable. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Barcelona!
