We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona & in the apartment of Betina. It's a clean, central, cozy place close to Parc Güell (aprox. a 10min walk) and our host Betina was very welcoming and recommended great nearby places to us! There was also a pile of city-guides, flyers and other stuff in the apartment, so we get many interesting impressions right from the start. The neighborhood Gràcia is a very cool and calm area. It is more like a local-spot at not crowded at all. The perfect place to stay if you like it a little bit more quiet and familiar. Communication with Betina was perfect at any time and she wrote us a couple of useful messages during our stay :-)
