Esther's is a nice apartment with plenty of space. She left us some nice essentials in the kitchen, and really took the time to show us around. You can tell they love this place and I think it's been in her family a long time. Esther and her husband live next door, but do not make their presence known unless you ask. There were three of us in the 3 bedrooms and the front one had the air conditioning, but we figured out a system to cool them all down (close the doors to all the other rooms -- kitchen, laundry, bath and entry -- and set the AC timer for 30 minutes before you expect to get home). Also, someone wrote that there is only Spanish TV, but just go into tools on the remote when you come across something you know was originally in English, and set the language control to 'VO' (Version originale). The beds were comfortable and firm, and the sheets 50/50, sort of a downer. The appliances all worked great and the kitchen had it all. The neighborhood is real-resident Barcelona; locals on the sidewalks, the numerous cafes and restaurants, and shops. The doorman is a jewel. No one speaking English for miles! I personally love that immersive feel. All you could need is within a block or two, and Sagrada Familia at 4 blocks is the subway stop, so it becomes an old friend if you stay a few days. Thanks Esther and Adieu!
