As with other reviews, the room is stuffy and hot even with the fan during late August in Barcelona. It is bearable for a short stay like I did for 4 days. All that said, it is a housed in a beautiful and airy (!) apartment with high ceilings and balcony that brings in lots of light during the day. I was out sightseeing most of the time but enjoyed the living room and terrace view (shared common area) during the night. The bathroom is quite clean considering it is shared among 4 rooms. Has basic shared amenities like kitchen sink, microwave, even a washer (even though listing says there is none) and clothesline. A friend of the host welcomed me and let me stow my luggages in the room before check-in time while they got it ready. Proximity to the Arc de Triomf bus and subway stations is a huge plus. Surprisingly the neighborhood has lots of Japanese anime merch stores, comics bookstores and Chinese restaurants.
