Our host was very accommadating and made every effort to ensure a wonderful stay. The location was perfect--quiet neighborhood but easy walk to many highlights of Barcelona as well as metro stop. The apartment was set up perfectly making it easy for the night owl to stay up and read in the living room while the early bird could go to bed and get a good night's sleep. Really nice shower. Steps to apartment are many and steep--perfectly fine if you're able-bodied. We wish we could have stayed longer.
