Although there was a language barrier it did not impact on our stay. Monica was a lovely host always smiling and we made very welcome. The room was as the picture and was was indeed sunny. The balcony was a good as was the room. Towels fluffy and bed linen fresh. It was great to have our shower and toilet. The room was at one end of the apartment so we were not on top of our hosts and felt we had our own space. Although th apartment was in suburb of the city and not a tourist area it was in good location for getting about. The train from the airport was easy to find and took 30mins. Monica's son communicated by email in English and was extremely helpful so had there been any issues I knew that I could speak with him and get it sorted. It was a great base and good value for money. Both me and my daughter had a great stay and enjoyed our visit to Barcelona.
