The apartment is right in front of the entrance to Provenca metro station, on the 4th floor. Good A/C (almost too good!), very nice bathrooms. A little minimal on the cooking utensils, but then who is cooking in Barcelona when there are awesome restaurants all around? A couple of the floor tiles were loose - it would be nice if the owner/manager cemented these back in place. Quiet at night, but only a block from the upper part of Rambla Catalunya and within a stone's throw from La Padrera and Casa Battlo (and a short train ride to Park Guell). A 20 minute walk to La Sagrada. So, for the big sights, it's very convenient. Several of us attended a congress at the end of diagonal (near the beach) - this is a little more complicated to reach (you need to take the metro to Playa Catalunya, then walk a block and a half to Urquinaona, and then get another metro to the Maresme Forum stop). Once you figure it out, it's manageable.
