The studio apartment is very comfortable. The added space on the deck is amazing! I loved the plants on the deck. Outside there is also a very nice dining table and chairs. Two comfortable lounge chairs are available as well. Having a washer there was a nice benefit. Our only concerns we would share are the noise with very loud closing doors throughout the building in the morning when people go to work and in the evening when they get home. Also, it is noisy due to how the windows open into a small interior outdoor space, clanging dishes and other sounds from other people are present. Overnight it is quiet. The apartment itself is lovely and clearly well cared for. The other thing is there was a used bar of soap left for us...in addition to a large bottle of body wash and shampoo. We would have liked more information on how to use the tv, oven and washer. I have to say though, if you are looking for an authentic experience in a beautiful studio apartment in Barcelona this is the perfect place. The metro is just a few blocks away at the Sagrada Familia. We did not get to meet Josep, but he was VERY responsive to our calls and questions. Thank you Josep!
