Silvia is a 5-star host who went out of her way to provide recommendations and help us with taxis and amazon deliveries. Apartment is in a great location, convenient to everything yet away from the bustle of the tourist center. Overall this is a good value BUT we did have some issues with the apartment itself.
One surprise was that the only exterior windows are in the solar that houses the washing machine, which meant it was dark in daytime throughout the apartment and, conversely, light at night because of interior building lights. This wreaked havoc on our jet lag and generally detracted from us feeling settled over our nine night stay.
We also had issues with mosquitos, which we did not encounter elsewhere in Barcelona or in Spain, but for some reason this apartment had them and we often woke up at night to mosquito bites.
One other small nuisance, the shower head does not stay held in its mount and twice fell on our heads. If my daughter had been struck by it she could have been seriously hurt. This is a safety issue that hopefully will be fixed soon.
Overall for most families this apartment would be a great choice in a very central location, just be aware of some issues that may or may not concern you.
