Loved the location. A few minutes’ walk to the Metro with connections to several other lines or a bit farther to La Ramblas and the oldest part of the city. Lots of bakeries, coffee shops, and sidewalk eateries close by. Good ventilation with the windows open and a fan to use when they weren’t. The apartment was quiet even though it is in a big and busy city. Very comfortable space for two people. Good storage for clothing and personal items if you are staying a while. Comfortable couch and work table, chair, in the living room. Lighting, in general, was rather dim. Wi-Fi was excellent and TV worked well (Though, we didn’t use the TV since we don’t speak Spanish!). Could use a couple more power strips to add flexibility, and task lighting. Bathroom is clean and functional with a tub/shower. You might want to pick-up some TP and paper towel when you arrive as these were scarce in the apartment. Full sized bed in an alcove on the main hallway was comfortable and dark enough for good sleeping. We moved the fan to the night stand in the bedroom at night as it was warm without it. Limited cooking space and equipment, (2 place electric cook top) but we were happy to eat out frequently and easily so it wasn’t a problem for us. We did laundry in the combination washer/dryer which worked well once we figured out the cycles. Bilingual instructions would be helpful. Had some trouble with door lock on a couple of occasions, but could have been operator error. Neighbor was able to save the day before we needed help from our hosts. Our hosts were prompt and helpful at both ends of the trip and were able to share plenty of useful information leading up to the trip. Overall this apartment was a good value and met our needs for 3.5 active days and we would recommend it to others.
