Paola was very pleasant to communicate with from the beginning. She wasn't in Barcelona for our arrival but she did arrange well ahead of time for her friend greet us (a group of 5) and provide the keys. The apartment is near the city center but isn't too loud. Walk for 2 minutes and you'll reach a lively street with numerous bars, cafes, and restaurants. The place is spacious and came with towels and toilet paper. Considering the place lacks air conditioning, we were concerned temperature would be a concern during the Barcelona summer. Thankfully rooms do have ceiling fans and if you keep them running the temperature will be fine. Other thing to note: bathroom doors don't lock. Overall the place was a great accommodation for our stay in Barcelona. Thanks Paola!
