We stayed in Carmela's apartment for three nights in July 2017. She was a great host and in constant touch with us up to and during our stay. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children) and the apartment was just the right size for us. The apartment was very clean and was just as pictured on the site. The location is a 10-15 minute walk uphill from the nearest metro station, but from there it is a straight shot into the city center. There is a small grocery store on the same block that had all the essentials we needed for our time there. I recommend the apartment as a good family-friendly option for exploring Barcelona.
