This place is as lovely and welcoming as it looks in the pictures. The living room and kitchen space are fantastic gathering areas to dine and hang out, as you plan your days ahead. Very closely located to the main train station, with 2 subway lines even closer. Quiet building served by only one tiny and slow elevator. If you opt to walk, it's 5 flights of stairs so take that into consideration when booking. As a family of four- me, my husband and our two boys (18 and 21 yo) the space was perfect. The boys went out at night and didn't wake us when they came back in the wee hours. It's a 3 bedroom/2 bath that could comfortably sleep 6. But you should note that the shower stalls are VERY small- typical in EU but tough for larger people to navigate. The beds were very comfy and the property was very clean. The kitchen had all you need for cooking/serving meals but no basics- salt, pepper, coffee, etc- were provided. Also, no ice trays. Again, that is common in the EU but Americans tend to like their ice. Washer was located on the terrace off the bath. It was small and we did not use it. The apartment looks out on to an old prison... it's no longer active and (I think) is now a museum. The one complaint- and you see it in nearly every review- is the key pick up. Though it was -in theory- easy to do, it was well out of the way and added extra cost in a cab (no Ubers in Spain) and extra time away from our vacation. We arrived via train, which was less than 2 blocks from the apartment. But it was a 15 min cab in heavy traffic to get to the place to get the key. All instructions for key pick up were easy and accurate, but it would be much easier if the key was made available AT the property. Property management was great with communications and correspondence, though we never met anyone in person. We would definitely stay here again, should our travels bring us back to BCN.
