We received a very warm welcome from our host, Angeles. The apartment looked like the workshop of an artist, very innovative and artistic. The space was really big and nice with almost every need looked into. There was even a bottle of wine and a platter of cakes to make us feel at home. Things were squeaky clean. The metro was just a 3 min walk, while the local supermarket was just a minute away. The main big market and shopping was 500 meters away. So location wise it was excellent. Overall a wonderful experience, though the sleep quality did suffer due to unsatisfactory mattresses (twin spring mattresses instead of a double one, which kept separating) and the shower room not having a door or a proper screen to ensure privacy.
I would definitely recommend a stay here to enjoy Barcelona to the hilt, provided one doesn't mind the issues mentioned.
