The location was great, close to La Sagrada Familia, with easy access to the metro. The apartment was clean and had a washer and dryer. The shower was extremely small and uncomfortable to use. The view out the windows was a trash littered rooftop. Keep the shades drawn. There was no contact with the owner, Joan. A check-in service was used. When asked a few questions about the area, our check-in agent replied that he didn't live in that area
