Rosa was unable to meet us as we came during the evening while she was stuck at work, but her lovely mother greeted us in front of the building, and with our limited Spanish, we were able to communicate just fine. The apartment is perfectly suited for a couple staying together. It is located near public transportation and within walking distance of all the sights, with the exception of Park Guell, which was readily accessible by metro/bus. It is a small apartment, but tidy, and suited our vacation purposes well. We were especially pleased with the proximity to the Born neighborhood with its food and cultural aspects. The apartment is completely dark for sleeping, and mostly quiet, except for the occasional group of chatty people walking by and noisy motorcycle. We did finally get to meet Rosa at the conclusion of our stay in Barcelona, when she offered to drive us to the airport, and she is a very friendly, sociable person. We would have no problems recommending this apartment to others.
