The location of the property is excellent on the border of Eixample and Vila de Gracia (less tourists).
Many of the main sites such as La Sagrada Familia are within easy waling distance and it's all downhill to the beach.
There is a supermarket within about 100m and loads of cafes/bars/restaurants starting right outside the main entrance.
The balcony is great for meals in the apartment and the patio above the main apartment (accessed by a separate locked door and locked trellis) is great for an evening drink or sunbathing.
The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms newly fitted.
There is a washing machine in the apartment within a small cupboard/storage room.
The aircon unit in the main bedroom is powerful and kept us cool in the heatwave of July.
The main integrated aircon in the rest of the apartment was less powerful but should cope with everything except extremely hot weather, which we experienced in July.
The apartment is on the top floor of the building but the lift was reliable if small (max 3 people - squashed).
There is another apartment on the same floor and the pair would be ideal for larger groups (e.g. two families traveling together).
