Esther's apartment is in the heart of Barcelona. Shops, restaurants and tourist venues within walking distance. The apartment itself is bigger than what the pictures show and there is a pull-out couch in the living room. It was spotlessly clean and and Esther came by to let us in and even came back to help us sort out the WiFi. Washer/dryer was a nice convenience. Neighborhood is very well lit and safe. We had no issues letting our 2 teenagers do some exploring on their own. We would definitely stay there again! Much better option than a hotel room, especially for a small group or family.
