The apartment looks just like in the pictures and is very comfortable. It is very nicely located right around the corner of the Sagrada Familia and just as close to metro stations, which made accessing most city attractions very easy. The neighborhood is packed with stores, patisseries and little restaurants, so you don’t have to go very far for a quick bite if you don’t want to. Nevertheless, Laura and Jordi had very good recommendations of places to go that were definitely worth the trip (and sometimes the wait!).
The hosts were very responsive and super attentive. They set up the apartment nicely with portable crib, high chair and toys to accommodate our 10 month old daughter, and they helped us set up the transportation to the airport as well. They quickly addressed, in person, some small issues that arose from damage done by the previous guest... overall, they were much more attentive and personable than many hosts we’ve had in the past, and made our stay very pleasant.
In summary, I would definitely go back to Laura and Jordi’s apartment and would recommend staying there.
p.s. the elevator in the building is convenient but very, very tight (~6 to 8 square feet, my guess?) For a person with accessibility needs, this may be problematic.
