Stayed for four nights with my girlfriend.
The apartment is located in Gracia - a fantastic area. Lots of my Spanish friends had recommended staying here, so when I saw the listing I snapped it up.
Surrounded by locals, trendy bars and a bustling food market. 10 minute walk to two nearby metro stations, we often found ourselves taking 20 minute walks to nearby sights like Segrada Familia, and even down to the Picasso Museum. So near enough to central if you enjoy walking.

The space is pleasant enough, a small outdoor terrace, sofas and cooker/fridge made it a pleasant homely environment. We're both tall so the bed was a little short for us, but for average height people it should suffice! The apartment is ground floor, with frosted glass doors facing the street - there is also an electric shutter that you can close for added security and to block out the street lights. The use of this shutter was restricted after 11pm to not disturb neighbours.

Being a ground floor apartment, noise was sometimes an issue especially evening/early morning. Plumbing, running water etc from other apartments was pretty audible through the walls and could often overhear neighbour's conversations, playing kids and work going on early morning outside. If you're used to this, it's part of living in a city, then you'll be fine but if you're restless sleeper may be an issue.

Joanna made sure we were greeted on arrival, and was very communicative. We had clean towels, water in the fridge which was a nice touch.
Unfortunately the Wifi was down for our trip, which turned out was a local network problem. Joanna did everything she could to respond to the issue, and despite being a big set back we felt comforted she did what was in her power. She even got her friend to contact us who was experienced with internet issues.

Overall an interesting stay, the highlights being great location and the large space. Some noise issues weren't great but its a compromise for a great price.
