Laura's place is actually has stated. It's in the heart of Plaza Catalunya, a perfect location for my first time in Barcelona. The subway was down the street, Starbucks was a few steps away and the Gothic, Born and La Rambla areas were all within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance.
The apartment was clean, quite and easy to access. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was great. Nice place to stay in a good location. Overall, I felt safe in the area. Had a minor inconvenience with the elevator working off and on a couple of days; which meant I got my steps in as the apartment is on the fourth floor.
I would book again on my next trip to Barcelona.
