Meritxell & Octavi's apartment was a lovely place to stay in Barcelona, the location was great - the neighbourhood was not full of tourists but was lively locals and only a 20 minute walk or a quick metro ride into the centre. There were also loads of restaurants, bars, supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and everything else you could need nearby. The hosts gave us some great recommendations local to the apartment and more centrally, the check-in process was also super simple and easy.
The apartment well equipped especially in the kitchen with everything we needed to cook as well as some oil, salt, tea and coffee. The shower was also very powerful, there is a washer, drier and iron and even a coffee machine. The wifi speed was great even when streaming movies on our laptops.
However there were just a few things that I feel let the apartment down a little bit, the air-con system was not working to give us heat, so the apartment was very cold all the time - no worries if your visiting after the winter season but for us it was uncomfortable. The apartment was also a little damp, so we found our towels, for example, didn't dry after a shower.. The wall between you and the neighbour is also very thin so we felt that we could hear everything they were doing.
Overall it was a very enjoyable stay - we had the best time discovering this beautiful city and all it had to offer from a great base and I would come again in the warmer months perhaps not in the winter!
