This apartment was clean and worked well for our stay in Barcelona. Communication with the host was good. It was a fairly good location, we could walk to La Rambla and there were many restaurants and cafes nearby; there a market almost next door to the apartment which was quite convenient. The neighborhood was okay overall but I would probably choose a more consistently safer area next trip. I have no reason or experience that made this location not feel safe, but we were told by a local to avoid several areas nearby and walk only towards Plaza Catalunya or La Rambla and avoid the other direction. Also the photos I feel do not quite accurately represent this apartment. It is renovated from an older building which is really neat - there are aspects of old and new that is true. But the rooms with the 2 twin beds are very small and nonconforming bedrooms. The ensuite bathroom was added in a very enclosed space within the main bedroom and it would steam up terribly with showers or baths. Nothing that made the place uncomfortable - I am just being honest that the rooms and bathroom are a bit unusual. This place would be great for families as there are mutliple beds for kids in the smaller rooms with their own bathroom. The shared spaces were comfortable and the balcony off the dining/living area was small but lovely, it opened to a big courtyard type area in the center of multiple apartment buildings and it was fairly quiet out there, as opposed to the small balcony off the main bedroom that was above the street and quite loud.
Overall this was a lovely little spot for our time in Barcelona and I appreciate the hosts communication and availability for help or recommendations if needed.
