Alba's place was an amazing find! The location is quite close to a train station, with the added benefit of being off a line that goes directly to the airport. We had a very early flight and this definitely came in handy! You're no more than a 30 min trip to all the major destinations, but it's also nice to escape from the touristy areas to a cute, quiet neighborhood like this one! There's plenty of local bars and restaurants around the apartment, and I'd especially recommend De Angelis (although you'll need a reservation for sure!).
Alba was a great host. We had a little trouble checking in due to the doorbell being broken, but Alba was patient and most welcoming once we were able to connect! She even provided us with a bottle of cava, which was a lovely touch. Overall, she was an efficient and friendly host, and this lovely spot made our trip to Barcelona all that much better! I'd definitely recommend!
