Isabel and Stefans responses and personal greeting were the best we have had so far with Airbnb. We thought the apartment was very functional and clean - kitchen has all the key appliances and loads of crockery and pans. It also has a washing machine and the TV (including an xbox) and the WiFi worked really well for the kids (ours are 18, 16, 13). The location is fabulous - the local streets are lovely with numerous cafes, bars and restaurants and only 5 mins walk to Universitat and 10 mins to Gracia metros. When I was looking for apartments, I got very focused on having one with some kind of view or small terrace. In reality these charge a lot more money, and to be honest I'm not sure we would have ever used one. The apartment doesn't have an outside space, but is better value and is more than made up for by the area that it is in as you will barely need to be in. We loved the Vinitus restaurant (don't mind waiting, its all part of the experience!). Sagrada Familia and Mercat de Boqeuria are a must. We did a 2hr Segway with a company based near Arc de Triomp and that was excellent. Nova Icaria beach is a nice alternative to Barceloneta and accessed from Cuitadella Via Olympica metro. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend
