My husband and I stayed in Victor's apartment for 5 nights in late June. The apartment is in an excellent location and we always felt safe in the neighborhood regardless of the hour. The apartment is situated next to a park that had concerts on both Friday and Saturday night while we were there, but the concerts didn't run too late and otherwise the apartment was pretty quiet.

His friend/property manager Aida greeted us at the appointed time and gave us a tour of the apartment and the rooftop terrace. She was very nice and helpful, and she spoke English well. Although we didn't need to contact her during the stay, I have full confidence that she would have been available if an issue had arisen. She even sent us an email a couple of days into our trip to see how we were doing.

The apartment looks exactly as portrayed in the pictures. As the description indicates, there is no elevator, so be prepared for a climb. Although the apartment is advertised as being on the 4th floor, you really have to walk up two flights of stairs before you get to the 1st floor. The rooftop terrace is one more flight up from the apartment, but the view is totally worth the climb. The terrace is shared with the adjacent apartment, but the apartment was vacant when we were there so it was a private terrace. It was really nice to go up there on the weekend to drink champagne and listen to the music.

I would recommend the place to a relatively fit/in-shape couple. There was a futon in the living room so two couples could definitely stay there if they don't require much privacy. There is a curtain that can separate the bedroom from the living room, but when the curtain is closed the front door would be on the bedroom side. The bathroom is also right next to the bed, so really the living room has the most privacy at night.

My husband and I would definitely stay here again if we returned to Barcelona.
