Don't think about this listing, book it right away.
Mercedes is a professional, thoughtful and welcoming host. She was on-site to greet us at check-in and give us a tour of the apartment. She was readily available and accessible through whatsapp and airbnb messaging.
The photos of the listing do not do the apartment justice. The apartment is well maintained and clean. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need to cook, perform laundry and the bathroom comes with basic toiletries (bath soap, hand soap etc.) The terrace features a large outdoor space and the sliding doors brings the outside in. There is air conditioning in the unit, but the cross breeze you get from the apartment is fantastic and refreshing.
The apartment is situated a short walk from the main street which consists of many food shops, restaurants, cafes etc. For those that like to walk, it's a relatively short walk to El Born and the Gothic area, and the Metro is close by. The area is very residential and quiet. There was hardly any street traffic during our stay, which made it very tranquil.
And most importantly, the apartment is a short walk away from one of the most desired beaches in Barcelona. A real plus!
Highly recommended and thank-you to Mercedes as a host and for such a lovely stay!
