Chorch was a great host! Very easy to get in touch with, very accommodating and welcoming to his home. Location for the apartment was perfect. Right in the middle of the city and a 5 min walk to placa catalunya. The apartment itself is exactly like the pictures, no frills, and clean. Essentially it was a great place to stay as we only used it to sleep and shower. Be aware that the apartment is shared with up to 8 people and there is only one washroom to be shared. Also, though we had no issues, rooms themselves did not have individual locks. I was bit nervous about leaving valuables behind, but all worked out. Overall this place suited our needs perfectly.
