Although we did not meet the host during our stay, we had very good communications with Claudia/Oriol, who gave us excellent directions on how to access the apartment. The apartment is in a very good location, very nicely furnished, and also includes a washing machine. The apartment is just 2 blocks from Placa de Catalunya, where there is a stop to ride the Aerobus which conveniently took us from and to the Barcelona airport. Although there are a couple of Metro subway stations nearby (Urquinaona and Catalunya stations), we were able to walk to most of our destinations, including the Sagrada Familia (15-16 blocks away), the El Born area and the Picasso Museum (about 10-12 blocks), Mercat de la Boqueria (similar to a farmers market), and various other locations and restaurants. Although the apartment was not very large, it was clean and very comfortable for our family of three. We highly recommend this apartment.
