This apartment is remarkably quiet, in a nice, non-touristy neighborhood. All four hosts were lovely and communicative; Aline and Andrea online prior to arrival, and two others at check in and out. All of them are very polite. The view of the Sagrada Familia is indeed special, and there is a deep window seat from which to enjoy it. We are a family of 4, stayed for 3 nights; everyone had their own space, with closets, plus plenty of common space with a large table, sofa, etc. Very modern and updated, this space is calm and has good air conditioning, which was really wonderful because it was very hot during our visit. There are perfectly operating electric window shades as well as translucent curtains on the windows. For check-in you must meet your "check in agent" at the apt. door, so no options other than waiting if you arrive well ahead of check in. They did allow us access a few mins. early since we were sitting outside with our luggage. The format is recognizable from other rentals by this company: white modern with touches of wood, updated kitchen and bath, and minimalist style. I find that relaxing when I am traveling. FYI This rental had no basics in the kitchen such as salt or cooking oil. For a short stay I didn't plan to cook but would have had to buy all staples in order to do so. We would also have like more towels and pillows. I could have used some directions for the stove/oven/etc. The minor issues are, I think, just the result of this being a new listing and perhaps some rushed fixes during the renovation. I think that puts the hosts, who are great, in an awkward position. But I recommend this apartment, esp. for a family. It's very clean and is a great base for exploring Barcelona.
