Fantastic place. Ramon was awesome as a host, easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and he met us at the place to give us the key and do a walk-around - overall a super nice guy and perfect host. The place itself was super elegant, with tall ceilings, a cool/old fashioned elevator, a small outdoor balcony with a view of the Sagrada Familia, and comfortable (if a bit simple/minimalist) furnishings. Oh, and good natural light as well. The neighborhood was fine - I prefer the older neighborhoods in Barcelona (El Born, Gothic), but those can be a bit run-down in sections, so this area (Eixample) is a bit more modern, but also cleaner. So it depends on your own personal preferences in terms of whether the immediate neighborhood is an 7, 8, or 9 for you (but it's in that range). On the plus side, it's like a 5-10 minute walk to the Sagrada Familia, so that's a huge bonus. Bottom line is this place is really nice, and a terrific value, with a great host.
