The best part about this apartment is the location. It is a short (5 min) walk from Placa Catalunya. There is a fab bakery downstairs which is well worth a visit. The apartment is slightly dated and tired looking inside, it does not quite reflect the photos on the listing. We had a good time exploring Barcelona. The host was very good at communication and replied to our messages promptly both before and during our stay. We had a problem with the toilet during our stay (which having checked other reviews, others have also had an issue with), in that it randomly stopped flushing. The host replied to our message regarding this within 1 hour and someone was out to repair it within 2 hours. Overall a good place to stay for visiting Barcelona.
