Perfect location for exploring the city, just 2 mins walk behind casa Batlo and the Passeig de Gracia metro stop. We got the train directly to/from here to the airport which made it a very easy journey (we used a family metro ticket for this and generally getting around which made it v cheap!). Grocery shops and a lot of restauarants very nearby to the apartment to eat/drink out. There is a lift then just one short flight of stairs up to the apartment. Most of the building is offices so very quiet during the evening and night although the lift was a little noisy from the twin room around 8am when everyone started arriving for work (but we were wanting to be up and looking at the view by then anyway!).
The terrace was a big bonus, great views down the Rambla to the port and across to Montjuic.
Apartment was very clean with a lovely modern bathroom and comfortable beds.
The letting company were easy to deal with and lovely & helpful professional people..no problems whatsoever with our stay....we will be back to Barcelona fod sure!
