The place is perfect and just as described. The building is classic Barcelona but updated inside with an elevator and bright lobby and open plan.
The apartment is very modern and obviously recently updated. I went to several friends' places in BCN, and ours was much nicer than most.
It's especially great for friends traveling together as there are two almost mirror image rooms with good amount of space, queen bed, and access to the terrace overlooking the street. There are also two very similar bathrooms with updated features and amazing walk-in, waterfall showers. This was really nice for us as we had just been on a cruise ship with a tiny bathroom.
There is a combo washer/dryer which we used only to steam some clothes (vapor setting), but it's nice because you can set it to wash and dry in the morning and then be gone all day without switching out the clothes to the dryer.
The location was great for us as we were traveling with others at nearby hotels. The area was safe and clean.
Communication with the host was easy and quick.
The wifi was also very good!
