Great for anyone who likes to walk a city, you are in the middle of a real neighbourhood, not choked with tourists. About 15-20 minutes walk from the Rambla, 5 minutes up the hill the other way to the foot of the Montjuïc. Two block down is Carrer de Blais, a pedestrian street full of bars and restaurants. Lots of folks eating/drinking at outdoor tables, at all times of day.
The unit was clean, modern, and very “European” to my Canadian eye, differences I personally enjoy.
There is a small private terrace at the back, within a larger courtyard.
For us and our three kids (7, 4, and 2) it was great. Groceries are easy to get, or you could easily go to the Mercat San Antoni (~10 minutes). The kitchen is smallish (by my standards, probably not by local ones) but well-equipped. A door separating the bedrooms from the front of the apartment made it easier to have a grown-up conversation once the kids were asleep.
Bottom line: this is truly someone’s home you are staying in, which is when Airbnb is best. I would absolutely stay here again.
