I had a good stay at the apartment! Despite the electricity going out in the middle of the night (which Dani was responsive about and instructed me how to reset the breakers), everything was just fine. The apartment is on a quiet, nondescript street - functional and close walking distance to quite a bit. I recommend the apartment but there are just a few things I'd wish I'd known ahead of time:
-- took a long time to heat apartment (as in hours)
-- it's essentially on the 2nd floor and the stairs up to the apartment are steep
-- both the street door and the apartment were sometimes challenging to open
-- there were very little provisions to get you started when I arrived (didn't find the extra tp til the end. I had to go out right away to get coffee, tp, etc.)
-- it would have been super helpful to have manuals for nespresso, hvac, key locks
But Dani left great info about stores and restaurants nearby. The apartment is quiet, safe and
walkable to many areas of Gracia and Eixample.
