The hosts are extremely responsive and helpful. The location of the apartment is great, right on the corner of Placa Catalunya. Two minutes to El Corte Ingles with a supermarket in the basement. We came from Madrid on the AVE, one stop on the train to the apartment, AVE ticket included the transfer to light rail. After our stay, we took the Aerobus to the airport right in front of the El Corte Ingles. A lot of restaurants and tourist stuff are within walking distance. The only hardship is walking up 60 stairs to the apartment after a whole day of activity in the city. Still would not mind to book it again when visiting Barcelona.
