The apartment and area were exactly as described. The five of us got a cab from the airport and that took less than 30 minutes. Otherwise, we were only a 5 minute walk from the Sagrada Familia underground train stop. Ester was most accommodating with our earlier arrival time and even though she spoke practically no English, the WiFi in the place allowed us to communicate properly using Google Translator. Ester's recommendations for things to do especially as we arrived during the Corpus Christi celebrations were most welcomed.

The kitchen was fully functional with a dishwasher and many pots and pans to use. She also left us some bits and bobs in the fridge (beer, sausage) which made us feel welcomed.

The only drawbacks would be the fact that the double bedroom by the entrance had a rather loud condensation pump above it which meant that the light sleepers in that room ended up sleeping on the double sofa bed in the living room instead. However, as there were air conditioning units in every room, we were kept comfortable throughout. The hot water in the bathrooms was slightly inconsistent at times and we ran out of toilet paper at one point (not too big a problem as there is a supermarket immediately across the street).

Would definitely recommend it for 5 people as we were. The living area would start getting cramped with more people.

Thank you Ester.
