Francesca is a great host. The apt is eclectically charming and in a great location for exploring the city 2 blocks from La Rambla. It is central to most everything in Barcelona. We were overly adventurous and walked to Park Guell from the apt. Which is a bit of a hike, but was worth it and absolutely doable. Apt. is located in an old building and not remodeled, hence the charm. It can be a bit cold (we visited in December) but Francesca has a space heater in the room to keep it nice and toasty. The bathroom is shared, which was expected, but Francesca and her roommate were rarely home, so waiting for the bathroom was never an issue. We didn't spend much time in the other areas of the apartment, other than our room and the bathroom. Bed and size of the room were very comfortable for two. Apt is on the 4th floor - 90-100 stairs, so if you don't like stairs, you may want to look elsewhere. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed Barcelona!
