The property was a bit better than the pictures, was well furnished, clean, and looked like it had been updated recently. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the beds were clean and very comfortable. The bathrooms were nice, however, missing bath gel and shampoo (we were carrying our own so it didn't bother us). The view from the back window of the property opens up into a space enclosed by other buildings where you can observe the local folks going about their chores (a nice experience for us).
The location was great, close to super markets, pharmacies, restaurants. There is a 24hr grocery store right under the apartment. The old town is a 20min walk for those who enjoy walking, and a 5min metro ride (the Poble Sec station is literally a 60 second walk). It is also 10mins from Barcelona Sants train station.
The host, Maud, was great too. Communication was perfect and clear, check-in/check-out was a breeze. We thank her for making us feel very comfortable and safe.
All in all, we had the perfect stay in Barcelona and I would definitely stay here again!
