The apartment is in the Gothic quarters and literally 5 mins walk away from the city center. We could walk to almost everywhere and experience Barcelona by foot without having to worry much about transportation late night. We did find quite a few people trying to sell us drugs on our way back to the apartment from the nearby square. The road feels a little unsafe if you are a woman traveling alone. The apartment itself was huge, very neatly maintained and we could tell the building was quite old and charming. It was quite warm inside the apartment and we couldn't open the windows in the bedroom due to mosquitoes. Adriana as a host was super responsive and helpful. The stairs leading up to the first floor was a little unsafe and quite narrow but we managed. If you have a lot of luggage, please be mindful of this. Otherwise everything was great!
