Jose was a wonderful host, very helpful with check-in and check-out process and tips for sites. The apartment is in a great location, walking distance to many famous places, as well as subway stations and buses. The air conditioning worked perfectly during the heat wave, even in the living room which is in the sun for a long time. The washing machine was very convenient and clothes dry quite quickly once hung on the provided rack. The living room is cozy but comfortable for a couple of people and it’s pleasantly bright. It faces a playground and a school yard. The children playing most of the day and early evening can be noisy, although it didn’t bother us. The two bedrooms are quite dark but we just spend bedtime there. The place might benefit from some spruce-ups but it has everything you might need, including detergent for both washing machine and dishwasher and a beach umbrella. Overall, we would recommend it if you want to stay in the Eixample area, which is one of the best areas to stay in Barcelona.
