Great area in which to stay when visiting Barcelona. It is an easy walk to La Rambla and the port.
Our flight arrived later than planned, but Rodrigo was at the apartment waiting for us. (A very nice bottle of wine was also waiting for us, thanks to Rodrigo). There was also jam and butter in the fridge, and tea bags and coffee. Plus, oil and a few spices. The two umbrellas hanging by the front door was very thoughtful.
The apartment is very nice - it is as pictured. The bed was very comfortable, but as it was a double, I ended up on the futon a few nights (which is also comfortable). This was the first airbnb we've stayed in which had a great supply of pillows.
The bathroom is a little small, but has plenty of room by European standards. Plenty of hot water - the pressure is a little weak, but still okay. Lots of towels were provided.
The kitchen area is huge, the livingroom and bedroom are a good size. Both the livingroom and bedroom have bars for hanging up clothes (and plenty of hangers).
There is a washing machine in the kitchen and a portable clothes drying rack on the balcony.
The balcony is small, but there is a small table and two chairs if you want to sit outside.
One thing to point out is that any sound (including your own voice) really carries - especially up the stairwell. Also, the walls are pretty thin, so you might want to keep that in mind.
Overall, we would recommend this apartment for a couple or a family with one or two small children. Rodrigo is a wonderful host and answers any questions very promptly.
A final note - an excellent seafood restaurant is just down Avenue Parel-lel. When you get to the Apollo, cross the street, turn right, and walk a very short distance to Paradeta Paral-lel. It's a self-service seafood restaurant. Choose your fish, oysters, mussels, shrimp, etc. and the quantity. It is then weighed and sent to the kitchen to be cooked. When your table is called, just pick it. Very nice chain restaurant with lots of seating and very nice decor. Plus, it's inexpensive!
