Rosa met us outside the apartment with a big hug and her brother watched over our illegally parked car (so it wouldn't get towed away by the police) while we unloaded our luggage and Rosa showed us the apartment, provided us with a map of Barcelona, told us where the supermarket is and provided restaurant recommendations. We parked our car for the duration of our stay at the bus station approx. 100 metres from the apartment. The apartment is located in the centre of Barcelona, on the second floor of the block, has plenty of natural light and a good size balcony. It overlooks a community park area so it reasonably quiet but there is still some noise from the street particularly as we are not accustomed to living in a large city. We stayed for 4-nights and easily walked to the beach and all the major tourist sights. The apartment was generally clean but there are one or two maintenance issues Rosa needs to get the property owner to attend to. The kitchen sink plug did not work which Rosa made a temporary repair to during our stay and there is no lighting over the kitchen sink and stove area. The bed was comfortable but when we removed the sheets for washing after the last night of our stay we found a blood stain on the mattress protector. Overall our stay was pleasant. Rosa was helpful and welcoming and we would recommend this apartment to others wanting the convenience of central Barcelona.
