Azucena was a courteous and responsive host. I was very appreciative of the negotiable check-in/check-out time. Being new to Barcelona, I felt very stressed with traveling, and having the apartment as a refuge while I settled in or waited to get into the airport was very helpful.
Overall, like other reviewers said, this is a great place to stay, near the center of town. It is still very residential and quiet, so it's the perfect balance. There are a good mix of nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Montjuic is also a 15 min walk away! Protip for American visitors: Be sure to buy a plug adapter prior to your visit. I bought a Type F adapter and that was perfect for charging my laptop and cell phone.
