We arrived late on a Saturday night (about 11pm) which was later than anticipated due to a delayed train in France and we missed our connection to Barcelona. While we were tired from the travel, Eli was waiting for us and graciously greeted us. The apartment was warm and inviting. There were 3 beds ready for my husband and me and our 2 boys. Eli had some fresh milk and bread for us as well as some tea/coffee which were much appreciated since it was too late to go to the store and the following day was Sunday when many businesses are closed. Even at the late hour, she really took time to show us the apartment and give us suggestions on restaurants/sites and showing them to us on a map. While we did not have to contact her during our 5-night stay, she made it clear that we could text her for any questions or issues that might arise. We had a spectacular time in Barcelona made even better because we could come "home" to rest in this clean, comfortable, A/C (!) apartment. We had plenty of room (we didn't even touch the smallest bedroom because our 2 young boys wanted to sleep together in the 2nd queen-sized bed). The shower had good water pressure. The combo washer/dryer was indispensable for us as we definitely perspired quite a bit and went to the beach everyday and the wireless connection worked flawlessly. Our stay in Eli and Agus's apartment really did exceed our expectations. As we have young kids, we are up early with them. However, the street noise could be bothersome for those who are out late (bars/restaurants are open until the wee hours of the morning) and want to sleep in. I would say most of the traffic noise as well as the noise from construction work taking place in the square in front of the building probably started around 8am. There are quite a few great restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. If you stay here and you are a foodie, definitely research the area as some restaurants book a couple months in advance. We didn't do this but had we done so, we might have tried a restaurant or two that we didn't get around to. Great area to stay in and if we are able to return to Barcelona, we would definitely want to stay in this apartment again.
