Virginia's place was perfect! Central location, well-stocked with everything we could ever need while here, including basic cooking necessities like oil, sugar, salt, etc. We had two adults and two kids under 5 and found this to be so easy and convenient for all our needs.
Virginia allowed us to drop our luggage early since we came off of a long international flight. After we returned later in the afternoon, she walked us through the apartment and answered questions.
The layout was perfect for us--two twin beds plus a third in pullout couch. All linens and pillows were clean, although it would have been nice to have a few extras.
The apartment is spacious with a washer/dryer combo and a large drying rack. Again, perfect for family travel.
The location was perfect--near a subway and very close to Placa de Catalunya, where the tourist buses and las Ramblas is located. There are plenty of restaurants and a few grocery stores within a 3-5 minute walk. It's a quiet neighborhood and very convenient from the airport (32 euro cab ride with three pieces of luggage).
Overall, finding this was a true gem. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a bit more space than a hotel room. The hospitality Virginia showed was amazing!
