Iga’s place was just as we expected and was a perfect home base for a few days of sightseeing Barcelona! Communication with Iga was great and the location was perfect for us- a short metro ride to anywhere in the city and about a 20 minute walk to la Boqueria and Las Ramblas. You can hear an occasional car passing since it is a residential area but this really did not bother us at all! We felt very safe in the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend Iga’s place.
