We loved our stay at Julia's place in Barcelona. It is very centrally located and we were able to walk to Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and Plaça Catalunya. Basically you could get anywhere from plaça catalunya.

The apartment itself was exactly as advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the room/ceiling were beautifully designed. You could definitely hear/feel the subway below the complex and some outside noise HOWEVER that did not bother us one bit. It was actually kind of cool to hear the subway and it did not affect our sleep at all. There was a cool little balcony off the bedroom that you could sit at and enjoy some food/wine and see what was going on in the street.

The apartment is up 2 levels however there is an elevator which is nice when you are carrying a ton of luggage. The wifi went out once or twice while we were there but we restarted the router and it was no issue.

Towels and a hairdryer were provided but you'll need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. This is typical at any airbnb place so we expected that.

Julia herself was awesome. She was easy to get in touch with before we got there and while we were there. She let us check in early and met us at the apartment to show us around and provide recommendations. She also set up a cab to come pick us up for our early departure. She went above and beyond to help us while we stayed there.

I would definitely recommend Julia's apartment.
