We loved our visit to Barcelona and were pleased with the apartment. Lots of space and very much as pictured. It was clean and check-in/out was easy. The host was very responsive.
This is a good location - just a few minutes to the metro which will take you virtually anywhere in the city. Also only about a 20 minute walk to the centre of the old city.
The rooms are large and comfortable. We were only two couples, but it could easily accommodate 6 people.
We felt very safe at all times and found plenty of amenities in the neighbourhood.
We had a car, so had to find parking. There are many parking lots nearby and I was able to secure long term parking for 5 days with in/out privileges for about 80 Euro.
We had only two issues:
1. We had difficulty locking the patio sliding door and had to jury-rig a solution. The host did drop by promptly to address it but we were still able to force it open easily. Not a huge deal as we were handy enough to address the issue.
2. The master bedroom is at the front of the building only a couple of floors above a busy intersection, which was very loud some nights. We had difficulty sleeping through it the first night and resorted to earplugs which helped a lot. Our back-up plan was to move to the third bedroom in the back but we never did. Our friends in the second bedroom had no issues.
If you are a very sound sleeper this may not be an issue for you, but best to be aware in advance.
Overall, we were pleased with our experience and would recommend it to others with the above caveats.
