The host was very nice and welcoming. She told us everything we had to know about the city. The flat was like we expected it; tidied up well, quiet, cosy. It was not so far away from the center of Barcelona or from the beach. We had a really great time there!! Although I think there was not enough storage furnitures (in the kitchen or in the bedrooms), and it was a little hard to really settle down. Easy access to the airport, even by cab (not expensive).
