Monica and Lola were very attentive and waited up for us when our train was delayed 5 hours. Apartment was as described in listing and like others stated before there is a city smell, but you get used to it as it is not just their place specifically. The terrace really is amazing especially at night! Neighborhood is quiet and safe, very different feel from say gothic quarter or La Rambla area. It's close to the subway and bus, but we barely used the subway as we didn't find it very useful to go to a lot of the places on our list. All in all great place to stay if you are staying in Barcelona. Thank you so much !
