Do not hesitate to rent this place. Walking in Barcelona is so nice and this apartment is walking distance to several major landmarks: Gaudi houses, Sagrada Familia, Rambla, El Born, etc. It is in a nice neighborhood just beside a local market with high quality food if you want to cook, great restaurants, the subway, buses, and great shopping. The apartment was very clean and is facing away from the street so it is very calm. Ana and Xavi are the best hosts we had so far in our AirBnB experience. They provided many tips, gave us maps and were super responsive. They accommodate us arriving a bit earlier than the check in time. They live very close so they can react quickly. Vey highly recommended.
