Eduard's home was a lovely apartment in an ideal location. It really gave me the European experience that I wanted. The conveniences at an arm's length - Urquinaona metro station right at ground level, a supermarket, bakery, and plenty of places to see and eat were nearby. Walking distance to shopping at Placa de Catalunya but far enough to not be disrupted by the crowds. The location could not be any better!
A large space good for 2 to 3 people, separate bedroom from the living and kitchen areas, large bathroom, and a narrow balcony that can be accessed from the living room and bedroom. The kitchen had a washing machine but no clothes dryer. You must hang your items to dry indoors on a clothes rack. It would have been helpful to get further instructions on how to use the washing machine as the functions were in Spanish only. Bonus: there is an elevator! The apartment was on the 3rd floor (that's 4th floor for us North Americans). It's an easy walk down but the elevator was so useful if you've walked all of Barcelona. I especially liked how the hallways automatically lit up if you were walking up or down the stairs.
Eduard made himself available and checked in on us via messaging to ensure everything was fine. He offered tips on tours and where to eat. He was kind and respectful at all times and really goes above and beyond to host. I will definitely recommend his place!
