Check-in process and communication with Vanesa And Daniel was smooth. The place was well maintained and had all the essentials, however we could not find a washing machine. Although it is advertised as smoking, in reality only the balcony is smoking. Location was good and easy to get to other places, however the entrance and stairs up to the apartment are a bit dodgy! We were also not told about the tourist tax until we were there, which works out to be 4.40 Euros per person/per night. If you're staying in Barcelona for a few nights with your partner, this is a great place to stay.
