An excellent and highly recommended stay. The apartment itself is small enough to keep clean in a lively area. There are 3 different metro lines running along the main road round the corner so getting around Barcelona is a breeze. It's a stones throw from the gothic quarter and the gay district (if you're into that kind if thing). We felt that the is place have us an authentic experience away from the gloss of a hotel and the budgetness and lack of privacy that you get with a hostel. By far the best thing about staying here is how welcoming Rosa is. Quick to respond to emails prior to arriving and ready to attend to and issue you might have when saying in the apartment; we felt wholly confident that if anything was to go wrong Rosa would help sort it out and erased any worry we may have had when staying there. Extra perks was a bottle of wine with 2 glasses waiting for us after long trip and Rosa looked after our bags when we checked out and dropped them
off to us when we were about to leave, all out the kindness of her own own heart. There are a couple of places nearby which you should check out Bodega Salto (recommended of the vice guide to Barcelona) literally just round the corner and the Nevermind (a grudge bar with a skate ramp in it, €1 beer on happy hour and €2 burgers when you peckish). We had an amazing time and this was partly due to Rosa and her being so fantastic! Thanks Barcelona and thank you rosa, you babe!
