We requested, and were able to have, an early check in after our flight arrived in Barcelona in mid-morning. We really appreciated this.

The apartment was pretty much what we expected - though there was no window in the bathroom as pictured, such that the bathroom smelled like mildew/sewage. Also, the bedroom pictured in the ad was not the bedroom we got, as the window was in a different place. Overall, the place was comfortable, though noise from the next door apartment (voices and thuds) carries into the apartment. The location was great, and our hosts were very nice.
