Maga has been called away to work for a few months and has a friend hosting, so swap Maga+cat for Aga+baby as host. We had difficulty finding the flat as the attached map didn't show a street name to take off Ramblas, Aga tried to help by phone but of course we weren't familiar with the landmarks she was referencing. Maga's flat is lovely, spacious, clean and with a private bathroom close by your bedroom. The host's living area is at the other end of the building, so your space is quite private. The bedroom has a kingsize bed and a single, the bed was comfortable although my friend found the pillows hard. There is a chest of drawers in the room, but no hanging space. We didn't use the living area, did use the kitchen which had everything you could need. The listing says breakfast is included; we asked Aga for some eggs as there was a sliced loaf, jam and yoghurts - which neither of us would normally choose for breakfast. Good coffee provided. As other reviews have said, the street is noisy - Maga left ear plugs but they didn't stop the noise. Also previously mentioned - and not yet fixed - the bedroom door doesn't latch, and the hair drier only works a few seconds. The shower also doesn't fix to its bracket, although it is nice and hot. The lanes around this area did smell of urine, and there was graffiti on all the doors, but despite a run-down entrance and stairway, the flat is lovely once inside. I think this is typical of the area, so don't be put off by first impressions . The flat is in a good location for a walk down Ramblas from Catalunya (where the airport shuttle stops), and easy access to Liceu metro stop. There is a superb market close by for fresh fish and vegetables, and plenty of eating places. Most of the sights can be reached by foot if you have the time to walk it. Aga was available the first two evenings if we needed any information or help, once we were settled in she went to stay with a friend. It would have been nice to see her on our departure, but she didn't return so we checked out 'unchecked'! We did leave maps and brochures in the room, as we felt it would have been helpful if we'd had access to a map - and the brochures do give discounts to tickets. Overall a great place to stay, just a few minor glitches which may or may not bother future guests.
