Anna's apartment was full of character and interesting things. The balcony overlooking the Ramblas was great! I was able to use the kitchen to make my own breakfast and light suppers (supermarket just 100 yards away down the Ramblas). My room was at the back, so not noisy, and there was plenty of space to unpack and put my things (I was there for 4 nights.) The children and animals seemed used to having strangers around and were never a problem, but you do need to be OK with cats (and keep the bedroom door shut)! The shower-room with WC is really tiny - but plenty of hot water etc. It was really handy for the airport bus and shops etc. Anna is a thoughtful host and we had some interesting conversations. I will certainly stay there again.
