At the center of the city, this apartment is 1/2 hour walk from the Gothic quarter, Las Ramblas, and most tourist locales. We loved that we never needed a metro. It was clean, with a well stocked kitchen, and a small cute balcony in the front. The dishwasher never worked, and the A/C had to be fixed, but there was always plenty of hot water. One bedroom blind blocked the balcony doors so they could not shut, and it is 8feet high, so the door just had to stay open a crack the entire time. This is a noisy location, with an active bar directly below on the street level. All the noise until 3am traveled up to our second floor apartment. I had to move into the back bedroom in order to sleep through the noise and street light. The property managers, Andrew and Italo, are very nice and helpful, as was the receptionist when we contacted Aparteasy before check in. A good experience, and we will try to return here on any future Barcelona trips. I recommend this place.
