The apartment was a great place from which to explore Barcelona- conveniently located near metro stations and Sagrada Familia. The space is nicely decorated in a charming style and we were very comfortable. When we arrived we were greeted by someone from the hosting agency who was very friendly and showed us the apartment and gave us some tips about visiting Barcelona. We did have one issue with the washing machine not working properly (this could have been a misunderstanding on our part). We spoke to someone from the hosting agency who said someone would come to fix it, but I'm not sure anyone ever came and we never were able to get the washer working.
