This apartment is beautiful -- spacious, very clean, comfortable and well-equipped . The location is between El Borne and the Gothic Quarter and is perfect for tourists. It's a few blocks from La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya, close to several Metro stops, within walking distance of a myriad of shops and restaurants and even around the corner from a great language school . . . I could go on and on. Tania was a fantastic hostess and responded immediately when we had questions or minor issues during our three-month stay.
We loved the apartment, but just a couple of things to be aware of - the entryway to the building and the stairwell are very typical of apartments in the gothic quarter in Barcelona so they are very old with some crumbling plaster and peeling paint, but once you get up to the apartment it's a completely different story and things have been very nicely restored. The other thing I think it would be helpful for guests to know is that, while there are two bathrooms, the wall between them doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling so it's a little less private than you might expect from a two bathroom apartment. Again, not a big deal but nice to be aware of ahead of time, particularly if two couples rather than a family with children will be sharing the space.
We enjoyed our stay in Tania's apartment immensely and would not hesitate to stay there again!
