Gabriele's apartment was super clean and in a wonderful location. The neighborhood is full of restaurants and cafes, close to grocery stores, walking distance to the beach (about 15-20 min), so close to the metro and bus stations, walking distance to Cuitadella Park and even Sagrada Familia (25 min walk). The apartment was stocked with more than enough towels, soap, shampoo, etc. The kitchen is also equipped with your necessities, sleeping arrangements were comfortable and there was plenty of natural light.
Tere, the co-host who maintains the apartment, lives right next door and is available for any questions or concerns that come up. Although Tere speaks very little English, she is super welcoming, kind and organized. Google Translate might make it easier, but we were able to get along just fine.
You may notice an odor in the apartment at times in the kitchen area. This is due to the ancient sewer system in Barcelona, and not anything within the apartment itself. We were out so much experiencing beautiful Barcelona that it didn't bother us. And there is a balcony connected to the living area so it's easy to air the space out.
We really enjoyed our stay!
