this place is absolutely recommended! the location is amazing, with many, many tourist attractions within walking distance from it (the closest being sagrada familia), loads of restaurants, and small super markets for any and every need you might have during your stay. the host keeps you informed of any steps you need to take before and after your stay, and quickly replies if/when there are any issues. just an FYI, if you stay here, be prepared to walk up quite a few flights of narrow stairs with your luggage (they do try to have someone to help, but they are not always there to do so) or just in general, and although the listing indicates a washer and dryer, i think this might be dependent on the apartment you’re given. also, if you’re flying in/out of the city and want to take a taxi to/from, be prepared to pay between 40-50 euros each way! the airport is actually quite far (about 7 miles or so) from city centre, so that can be quite expensive (although we didn’t mind paying because it is more convenient) you might want to use the bus or train to get from the airport to the apartment if you do mind this. one high recommendation is to purchase a hop on/hop off bus tour ticket for a day or two whilst you’re there! it is worth every single penny, as one of the pickup locations is right in front of the sagrada familia, and it drops you off/picks you up in all the big tourist attractions! some of them are actually quite away from city centre, so i definitely recommend this as a way of getting there!
