I had a great experience staying in this apartment during my academic year. Everything looks like in the pictures so that my expectations were neither high or low and I was satisfied. Monica & Glaenzel are opened and friendly. If I asked them about something they replied very soon and there was a feeling like they care about their guests (thank you so much for that).
The only thing I did not expect, it was very cold in winter, my luck there was a heater - it saved me:)

In general I strongly recommend this apartment because of welcoming hosts and close location to poble espanol and fountain Monjuic - my favorite places in Barcelona:) Best of luck!
