The apartment location was superb. Away from the hustle and bustle of the super touristy area, but on walking distance from all the nice old neighborhoods. Roughly 10 minutes to Passeig the Gracia, 15 to Placa de Catalunya and 15 to 20 to El Born. The metro stops Girona and Tetuan are a stonesthrow away and quickly take you to the city and seaside and/or Raval / Montjuic area.

Jordi was patient with our flight delay and showed us the apartment and the hotspots in the neighborhood. We got 2 sets of keys and were on our way to exploring the city in minutes.

The apartment is nice and roomy with fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (!). The bathrooms are relatively basic, but plenty of hot water in the shower which is most important to me.

The whole apartment building is quite old, so in general it can be a little bit noisy (elevator, creaking floors, etc), but it depends on who your 'neighbors' are and what they are doing. If you're spending most of your time exploring the city, this won't bother you too much. The wifi was reasonable with some ups and downs in connectivity. For casual use it will probably be more than good enough, but since we were also doing some online work from the apartment we noticed this. Jordi was quick to respond to our feedback on the wifi and had someone look at it immediately.

All in all a very good experience!
