This is a beautiful apartment and would work wonderfully for most people. I want to add a word of caution early in the review for anyone traveling with someone in a wheelchair. Although there is a lift, this is definitely not a wheelchair accessible apartment. My husband is in a wheelchair and cannot walk at all. His wheelchair is a lightweight, custom-made chair and is not as big as the bulkier models. It wouldn't fit in the lift and it would not fit through the bathroom or kitchen doors. So, while this apartment would be perfect for most people, if you're traveling with someone in a wheelchair, you would probably want to look elsewhere for an accessible apartment. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to family and friends.

The apartment is very nice and located in a really fun area. It's located on a busy street and there is some street noise, but it wasn't bad. Before we arrived, Arne sent lots of information about things to do and how to get wherever we wanted to go, and he was very helpful with tips and suggestions after we got there. There are fun little tapas bars all around and it's a short walk to shopping, La Sagrada Familia and the metro stops that will take you anywhere else - and we never had trouble getting a cab when we needed it. If you’re not traveling with a wheelchair, this would be an ideal apartment!

We had a couple of glitches when checking in. There was a miscommunication with the cleaning woman and the apartment hadn't been cleaned. Then we had an issue with the lift as it got stuck between floors and stopped working. The cleaning lady showed up very quickly and the apartment was spotless when she left. Arne came as soon as we let him know about the problem with the lift and it was fixed quickly as well.
