Our host made us feel welcome. If you have the application Whatsapp then he will contact you faster during the day of the check-in. Otherwise he also responds via email to your questions. The plaza in front of the loft is quiet and nice. You don't feel the noise at night. It is not in downtown area, but if you don't mind walk is a good location, because you can use the metro system from a nearby station. There was a very brief power outage, but it was just for a moment, besides we never stayed all day in the loft, there are so many places to see in Barcelona. A lot of breakfast places in the plaza if you feel like having some coffee and croissants to start your day. Remember to return all the remote controls the host gives you, so he doesn't go crazy looking for missing one when you are leaving. Sometimes they get between the couch or the sheets. We were so worried from the cab to the airport, but finally he found it. :)
