We loved Ana's apartment - it was in a nice residential neighborhood that was away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy area which we appreciated. You do have to use the metro to get from the apartment to La Rambla and the tourist sites - about a 30 min ride which was simple.
Lots of nice restaurants around the apartment, the area was quiet and safe. The apartment itself was clean and had nice views of the city, with a wonderful patio that we spent time on at night.
Ana was there to greet us when we checked in and was responsive throughout our stay when we had questions.
The only minor concern was the size of the shower - it was very small. My husband and I are both physically fit and had a hard time fitting in the shower with our shampoo, etc.
Ana was gracious enough to let us leave our backpacks in the apartment on the day of our flight so that we could continue to explore the city and come back to grab them on the way to the airport.
Overall, a great experience, we hope to book this place again in the future.
