great location in eixample. a lot of great dining options within walking distance. over 5 nights we had booked 5 different locations all within 5 minutes to 22 minutes walk. great communication from marta and very easy to work with. one thing to note in most of these older spanish apartment buildings is that even tho there is an elevator, you will have to go up a few steps, like 8 of them to get your bag into the elevator. also the lip of the building entry has a step up so you will have to lift your bag up. unfortunately the street the building is on has construction now, so you will not be able to get a cab to stop right in front. you will have to be at the corner and walk half a block in.
location wise, 4 blocks from placa catalunya, easy access to luxury shopping on gracia and people watching on ramblas (not the crowded/dirty part, but the more civilized part). if you're energetic, also an easy leisurely walk to gothic quarter or born.
