The location is not exactly in a busy district (therefore, nice and quiet) but definitely strategic, within walking distance to La Ramblas, Placa Catalunya, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, and the Metro station. The apartment looks exactly like the photos, not modern but clean and spacious. The hosts are kind and accommodating. It was easy to communicate with them. We arrived hours before regular check-in time yet we were able to access the apartment. There was no dryer but the clothesline was adequate for our needs (we were there in June). Our family of 4 had a pleasant stay there. Though it would be nicer to have firmer mattresses and pillows. Thank you Paco and Lora! Your restaurant suggestions were great!
