The photos don’t do this apartment justice. We stayed at Carmen’s place for 5 weeks and had a fantastic time. Ceilings are taller than expected, the balcony’s open and provides a nice breeze throughout the space. The bed was comfortable (and huge). There are local shops and convenient stores all around, a metro station a few minutes walk away that takes you downtown in 20 min. Internet is fast and reliable for working from home. Carmen was responsive and provided local recommendations. The apartment is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and check-in/out was a breeze. Overall I’d give this apartment a 9/10 if you’re looking for an authentic Barcelona experience at a very affordable rate. Only negative was that the couch was a bit uncomfortable and there were a few days where the bathrooms smelled from the pipes in the building, but this cleared up after a few days
