Cynthia is a very nice host. The location is halfway between the beach and Sagrada Familia, each about a 20 minutes footwalk away. There are many shops and small cafés in the area and there is a terrace to which nobody else in the building has access. The room is very cheap but also small and dark. My only complaint is that the noise was kind of loud, mostly because the room is adjacent to the bathroom and often you hear the water rushing through the plumbing, even at night. This might be a general problem with flats in Barcelona, because I encountered it in three different places as the walls are often rather thin. So, compared to other Airbnbs this one isn't much different.
