Francesca was a great host. She offered advice about local restaurants and attractions. She also invited us to a local market fair.
Apartment is trendy/bohemian that feels authentic to the culture. The building is old which gives it a more unique flavor. Located in a great spot if you want to be near the Rambla and Gothic quarter. Also 5 minute walk to metro and 5 minute walk to the water.
As others have mention one must climb several flights of stairs to access the apartment. Though this top floor apartment has a great view down the street. because it is close to the trendy areas, you might hear late night activity as others mentioned. But seriously a great location.
