We found our stay at this apartment to be very enjoyable. We were warmly greeted by Ximena, who provided apartment details, as well as city information, and answers to any questions. She was friendly, welcoming, and communicative. The textual description and photos of the apartment were accurate, and the location was perfect for our itinerary (e.g., about a 30-minute metro ride/walk from the train station, a block or two away from Blai Street [a street lined with tapa bars], minutes to Montjuic, 18-minute metro ride/walk or 45-minute walk to La Sagrada Familia, 20-minute walk to Gothic Quarter). We enjoyed staying in Poble Sec, which is a neighborhood just outside the main tourist area, and it was convenient to walk or ride the metro to any part of the city. The apartment was clean and spacious (except for the toilet closet, which was a bit smaller than what we were accustomed to, but on the other hand, the shower area was a bit larger than usual). We stayed during late-December when the weather was a bit colder; thus, having a heat system was important for us, and the heater worked wonderfully. One thing to note, which other reviewers have also remarked upon, the apartment building does not have an elevator and the unit is located on the sixth/top floor (106 steps; although, the height of several of the steps were not as high as standard steps).
