We were met when we arrived and made to feel very welcome - a very nice start to our Barcelona break. The apartment was clean, well designed, and just as described. Very comfortable, stylish and well equipped. It was very easy to get to Gaudi's cathedral (five minute walk) and to the underground stations. The apartment felt like part of the City. I loved the wrought iron decorated door to get into the building.

As other people have noted, the apartment is on a major road and therefore one of the bedrooms has quite a bit of traffic noise. We did get used to it and it does get quieter at night, but I'd still definitely recommend putting some ear plugs in your luggage even if you think that you aren't going to need them.

The weather was a little cooler than usual during the beginning of our stay. It should have been possible to turn the heating on for an hour by pressing a button but I think that the thermostat was set a little low or was inaccurate so it the radiators wouldn't come on at all. However, I really don't think that this will affect anyone staying from May to September.

The hosts were good communicators and very helpful. On our last day they ordered a taxi for us, which arrived promptly in time to take us to the airport. This was very much appreciated.
