The apartment was great! When we arrived my host met me to let us into the apartment. Everything was exactly as the picture online...very clean, organized and safe. The apartment is only a 5 minute walk to the subway/metro and a 15 minute walk to the beach. The is a convenient store with basic food, fruits and vegetables right below the apartment but a larger grocery store is only a 10 minute walk away. The communication prior to the trip and the information provided when we arrived was also great. It made me feel very safe and secure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive but very nice place to stay while in Barcelona.
