First the good - Isabel was a terrific host - always quick to respond. Flexible with checkin time and arrival process which was much appreciated. We had issues with the clothing washer not working, as well as some ants in the apartment, and Isabel responded promptly and got on it, getting a repairman in quickly.
The apartment itself is in a good neighborhood - perhaps not the most exciting but very local and not touristy which is great compared to so much of Barcelona. Quiet and with everything you need nearby - grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, and close to the Metro and also very convenient to the Aerobus which can take you directly to and from the airport.
Overall the apartment had a good layout and the kitchen and bath were nice, but it felt like it could have been cleaner, the inside of the fridge and bathroom cabinets were a little grimy and needed to be cleaned out better. Great AC which was crucial in the summer heat. The aforementioned ants were ultimately resolved, but we also found a large dead roach in one of the bedrooms mid trip.
I would definitely recommend this apartment for a good value in Barcelona.
