Pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Felix is an amazing host. We had a few issues that were quickly resolved. He communicates very well through email or text.
2. Location!! Just across from La Sagrada Familia. Super helpful in finding your way around to have a huge landmark to tell your taxi driver or figure out metro.
3. Safe- the apartment is down a small street and you will need a key to enter building. We felt very safe walking around.
4. Noise- the building and surrounding area is very quiet. No loud parties or music at all.
Cons:
1. No air- it was 85% humidity and very hot the week we were there (end of June). However, Felix brought us another fan. The heat made it unbearable to sleep. Not Felix's fault, just take into consideration when booking during summer months.
2. There are 50 (yes we counted) stairs up to Felix's place. Again not Felix's fault but something to consider.
3. Looking out the back you'll find the area to be very unappealing. The apartments behind have thrown trash, clothes, shoes all on the ground. I'm guessing the clothes and shoes have fallen from the clothes line dryer.
All in all we had a fabulous stay in Felix's place. There are many stores and restaurants close by. Everyone walks in Barcelona so having things close was a definite plus.
