The location is good and safe. It is near Parc Guell. Two subways are walkable and there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. Be prepared to walk uphill, though. However, the flat needs some really good cleaning. Cabinets have a strong moldy odor when you open them. Sofa is itchy and has a smell. We had to use a duvet and it smelled unwashed. The pots and pans need replacement. Kitchen sink leaked, water in the bathroom sink was slow to drain and there was one part of the ceiling that appeared to be leaking as well.
The only redeeming factor is the excellent service provided by the contact person, Jorge. He went over and above to make our stay pleasant. He even provided extra toiletries from his own personal supply, beach towel and blanket to sit on at the beach. He checked on us almost everyday to see if we were enjoying our stay. He was prompt in his replies and on time picking and dropping us off at the airport. We enjoyed meeting him.
