The apartment is in a working class neighborhood but it was very safe. 3 min walk to the closest metro and about 20-25 min to most Barcelona attractions such as the Gothic Quarters. It's a basic apartment with basic amenities. No frills but gets the job done. There's one AC in the house which is good for the living room/dining room area and the back bedroom. The AC does not reach the master bedroom which can get warm. The master bedroom bed is very soft and not that comfortable. The wireless internet is very fast except that it doesn't reach the bathroom or master bedroom. The hosts were very attentive and took care of things that we discussed with them very quickly. They were also kind enough to make restaurant reservations and taxi reservations for us. This is a basic no frills apartment. It does the job ok. I would probably spend a few more $$ next time and get a nicer place to stay. If you don't speak spanish, make sure to get the husband's phone number as he's the one who speaks english.
