Everything about Ricard's apartment is perfecto! It's located at the heart of the city's Main Street La Rambla, right next to Liceu metro station and St Joseph's market is literally on your doorstep. All the major tourist sites (and shops) are at your fingertip. Being on the Main Street, it also felt very safe.
The room itself is located on the first floor, with a balcony opening out onto La Rambla, but it feels very quiet at night because of the double glazed French doors while the air conditioner keeps you nice and cool. It is equipped with the essential things and more. There is a Carrefour supermarket about 5 mins away to grab water etc.
The hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. They've recommended some great places to eat and even kept our luggage safe after we checked out before we flew home.
I'd recommend it without any hesitation.
