Julia was an excellent host. She met us early at the apartment so that we didn't have to leave our suitcases elsewhere and she gave us recommendations of local restaurants to go to. The apartment itself is large and centrally located. It was easy to walk to most tourist sites within 15-20 minutes. The washer worked well and was easy to use. The only to be aware of is that the apartment is located on a busy street and you can hear the noise very easily from the bedroom. Also, the curtains in the bedroom don't block out much light, so if you are a light sleeper I would recommend bringing ear plugs and an eye mask. Overall Julia's apartment is a great option if you are looking for a nice place to stay that is centrally located in Barcelona.
