The apartment is bright and clean and in the cute, trendy neighborhood of Gracia close to several transport options. The place is comfortable and easy to find. The apartment has plenty of cooking equipment in the kitchen and a washing machine too. The host was available in advance and during our stay for any questions that came up. There is just one air conditioning unit, which is in the living room, so it worked well for the living room and one bedroom, but the other bedroom down the hall was largely dependent on a fan alone - wish we had known that in advance.
The only downside was that the late check-in fee felt a little pricey. It seems fairly common in Barcelona and we know late check-in might inconvenience a host, but charging a fee from 8pm seemed early (rather than, for example, from 10pm) - especially when we had planned to arrive in time but a flight delay put us past that threshold. Overall, though, we had a great stay.
