The host was waiting for us when we arrived. We were able to leave our luggage at the premises several hours before check in time. Coffee pods and some cooking ingredients were povided. Everything was clean. Excellent location. Close to supermarket, metro station and Gothic Quarters and within walking distances to most attractions. We walked almost everywhere while in Barcelona. Good communication with host who responded to our requests promptly. As pointed out by others, one has to negotiate 4 flights of narrow stairs to access the apartment. Excellent host. Happy to stay there again if we return to Barcelona.
