Txell was a great host, and communication was very good. The apartment is nice - a one bedroom that is perfect for a couple. Balcony was nice, and since it is located on the 9th floor, you are away from most of the street chatter. We are active, so for us, this was a perfect location to walk to everything (with the obvious exception of the airport). Basílica de la Sagrada Família was very nice, and about 25 min. walk away. The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) and la Boqueria are about 20 min. away, and a few min. farther is the harbor. A block away from Casa Batlló, and near great shopping. From our search, the pricing was slightly higher, but you also had the great location and the penthouse deck - so all in all a good place to manage your stay. We recommend!
