This space is everything you expect it to be. The pictures definitely do it justice, and the little patio is worth a stay alone. The space is on the second floor, but is still a little dark, only has windows at one end. But the kitchen and living space is great (and near the natural light). The 2 bedrooms are nice, comfortable and each have there own AC unit, perfect for a good night's rest in what can be a hot city. The location of the apartment is only a couple blocks from the Metro, surrounded by restaurants and small markets. Not busy or loud, but only a couple blocks from the action in any direction. It felt like a safe neighborhood, we stayed with our 2 teenage kids and never worried, even walking home after a late meal. Overall Hernan, was a great host, prompt and helpful and if you are planning to spend a few days or even a few weeks in Barcelona, I would recommend his apartment every time.
