My wife and I stayed in Josep's apartment for an entire month, i can tell you Sants is an great neighborhood to live in, everything you could possibly want is right there next to you. We felt safe around the apartment, people kept saying that it's the same all around Barcelona, but still i want to mention it, because it's really important for me.

Our check in process was very smooth, we couldn't meet Josep during our stay, but he made sure someone was there to show us around.

We think that the apartment looks a little bigger in the photos, specially the living/dining room area, everything that you see in them it's there, the big couch, the tv, the tv stand, etc. and I believe that there lies the problem, too much stuff for the space. this is only an opinion, I like things to be as clean and uncluttered as possible, it's probably not a problem for most.

Regarding the noise "warnings" written on the listing, they make sense because you can hear your neighbors really easily. We didn't have any problems, normal life applying common sense and that's it.

The beds are not the most comfortable, we tried both, after 30 days I was really missing my bed, but for a shorter stay it shouldn't be a major problem.

We had a great time in this apartment, we only found these little things because we stayed for so long, anyone who can stay here will enjoy it greatly, a really nice find for a city like Barcelona
