This is a very comfortable apartment in an excellent area of Barcelona for accessing the city. It is placed between Placa d'Espanya and Placa Catalunya and just off Grand Via, very well connected to the Airport bus, the Metro and other city bus services. The local and surrounding areas have a lot of nice bars and restaurants, with plenty of choices for varied tastes and price points.

The apartment is very well furnished and equipped, and Fernando's friend Alejandro provided a nice welcome and introduction to the apartment. They were also very responsive to any questions and small issues I had. The main bed is a good size, as is the walk in shower ~ I am tall so notice these things. Wardrobe and hanging space for clothes was excellent. The washing machine and drying areas, iron and ironing board were all good quality and very useful as I was in BCN for an extended work trip.

As other guests have commented the small courtyard at the rear of the apartment provides welcome sun and light, as it is a mezzanine apartment, so natural light from other windows is limited.

Overall a very good Airbnb experience and I would recommend the host/s and the apartment without reservation.
