Great 1-week stay. The host Catain was flexible (allowed for early check-in and promptly let me back into the apartment when I forgot the keys one day), friendly, offered great local recommendations, and communicated quickly and clearly. The apartment is nicely decorated, well equipped, and fairly quiet with the exception of the elevator since it is on the top floor. The balcony offered privacy and lovely views. The location was very good, a short walk from bus/metro lines and many typical tourist attractions, but outside of the noise and business of the old-town areas. Wifi was fast enough for streaming and had no technical issues. Catain allowed me to accept packages at the apartment, but that was somewhat hit-or-miss depending on the carrier. Better to go with delivery to a local package locker. Altogether a lovely home base to explore Barcelona.
