The apartment is located in a central part of Barcelona, very close to all the major sites. It is appropriately decorated and there are a couple of bottles of water for guests upon arrival as well as some Spanish treats. My suggestion would be to negotiate more time than the scheduled check in or you will end up paying the add’l Euros as I did even though I communicated with the person handling the check in while I was at the airport. They are VERY strict about this policy. Also, if you use a washcloth in your country of origin, bring one with you. Many hosts and even hotels don’t offer them in Europe. Finally, there is a gym across the road whose participants and cleaning staff can see into the apartment, particularly the bedroom, so keep the curtains closed!
