The host was very welcoming and the apartment was just as described as in the listing. I was traveling with two kids and my mother so this apartment was great for our purposes, we had plenty of space and never felt cramped. The best part about this apartment is the location. It is close to two fantastic Gaudi buildings and many many great restaurants and shops. Also near public transportation and very easy to get taxi's near there - very centrally located to see many of the top sites that Barcelona has to offer. This apartment was also very quiet at night, so we all slept well!
