We had a wonderful stay at the Pelayo Deluxe 4. The apartment was very spacious for our family of four (actually bigger than we expected), all amenities and pictures as described, great internet, a/c worked great to escape the hot summer weather, separate washer/dryer units was a plus, and entry felt very secure. Very centrally located - just a block from the metro, Las Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya, restaurants and shopping. Juan welcomed us in person, walked us through the apartment and all amenities, gave us a quick layout of the neighborhood along with recommendations for supermarkets, shopping, restaurants etc - and even had discounted tickets available for the Hop On-Hop Off bus. He also graciously allowed us to leave our luggage the morning of the last day so we could see the Sagrada Familia without having to worry about where to leave it. Would definitely recommend a stay with Juan when in Barcelona!
