This little gem is right-priced and perfect for seeing all the parts of the city with ease. In our two weeks we walked most places--the beach, Gaudi sites, the Gothic quarter, etc. Public transit was also easily walkable. In terms of the apartment, it was clean, well lit, in a quiet building on a quiet street. The balcony feels like being in a treehouse--pretty views four floors up, just above tree branches from the street level. The best part was the host, Joan, who was an excellent communicator, solicitous, and responsive. Me and my two adult sons enjoyed having a bedroom each, planing cards on the balcony, and having a wide couch for lounging while watching football. While cooking is possible (and we did a little), this is more like a home base for exploration and rest than a place to set up home. The kitchen is not really built for cooking elaborate meals. The washer worked fine and we did laundry several times. Finally, the immediate neighborhood has everything you need, including an excellent bakery, several excellent coffee shops, and some outstanding, but affordable, places to eat. One final note: the wifi was blazing fast. Never an issue. I recommend this place very highly.
