Jose and Patricia's place is an absolute gem in a wonderful neighborhood! This was the perfect place for our Catalan getaway with 2 kids. Checking in was super easy; Jose met us at the apartment and walked us through a few things. As some people have mentioned, the hot water can go out at times, but it's super easy to fix (there are step by step instructions on how to get it working again). We booked for an entire week and only had the hot water go out once.
The place itself is very comfortable and close to so many things. We were less than a 5 minute walk from the metro station and Sagrada Familia. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby as well. Even though it may seem like a busy area, the neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe.
