The apartment was as described and depicted in the pictures. The location was good as most locations we wanted to visit were just a bus ride away [20-25 minutes]. Bus 24 takes you to to Passeig de Garcia, Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas. Bus 19 takes you to the beach and we walked to Park Guell. The apartment was clean, check-in was easy and there was enough linen/towels for us. As several reviewer have posted, we did have to buy bathroom paper, wash detergent and garbage bags. In all fairness to Laia, we chose to buy them rather than bother her since we were there for almost 2 weeks. Communication was great before and during our stay-we called her from the train station and she responded immediately with the best way to get to the apartment. Overall, we had a great stay!
