Marc was very responsive to my messages prior to my arrival. He was also waiting for us when we arrived, which took longer due to traffic. Although, we did have a view of La Sagrada, it wasn’t what we expected. The apartment is far from other parts of Barcelona like Las Ramblas and Gothic Quarter which in my opinion were traditional parts of this great city. The area where the loft is located in my opinion did not feel very safe. Also, it was very odd that the washer and dryer were within the apartment, but not in a secure area. That added to us feeling more unsafe. Please note the people upstairs are very loud at night around 11 pm, and there is construction upstairs that starts around 8:30 am.
