This is a great apartment located in a wonderful section of the city. Just to cover the basics. The apartment is as pictured and described. The rooms are spacious and uncluttered. The kitchen and apartment is well appointed and has everything you would need for a short, or as in my situation, a longer stay. I stayed in Iñaki and Cathy’s apartment for a month. Each bedroom has large wall air conditioners that quickly cool the entire apartment. Essential given that this July was one of the hottest on record. The front bedroom can get a bit noisy during the day due to the current rehabilitation of the historic market across the street, but as I was out exploring the beautiful city during the day this was not an issue for me. If you absolutely must sleep during the day move to the back bedroom, which is very quiet.
It is a bit of a walk up but the building has a lift, so again not an issue.

The apartment is located in the trendy Sant Antoni district away from the busy tourist areas. It is filled with wonderful shops, markets, and trendy up and coming clubs and restaurants. You absolutely get the feel for the real Barcelona. Even received accolades from my 24-year old son for picking the coolest area in the city in which to rent. It is a short 10-15 minute walk to the Ramblas, and a 3-minute walk to the Sant Antoni metro station, which connects you to all the major tourist sights.

The hosts are very responsive and easily reached by phone or email. We arrived early on the first day of our stay and Iñaki was gracious enough to offer to meet us at a local coffee shop. That was not necessary as the exiting guests had left and Iñaki let us drop off our luggage early, and allowed us to enter the apartment 3 hours before schedule. Great city - great apartment - great hosts. I highly recommend this listing.
