Location, location, location! This place is a fantastic place from which to explore the amazing sites of Barcelona. Casa Batllo can be seen from the front windows and small balconies.
The apartment is huge (actually two apartments put together) with plenty of eating and sleeping space. There were lots of bathrooms with plenty of hot water. The place was very clean. The kitchens were very usable but did not have extensive cookware. It might be difficult to prepare a gourmet meal in the kitchens but why would you need to? The location has so many great restaurants and things to do nearby you should be out enjoying everything not slaving away in the kitchen!
Communication was excellent and we were able to leave our bags prior to check-in at 5.
