The apartment was small and clean, fine if you’re planning on being out and exploring all day. It was about a 30-40 minute walk from the Gothic Quarter, Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia. I did end up wishing there was a microwave and washer, but I just ate my empanadas cold and used the laundry mat across the street (10 euros). I would have rated this apartment 5 stars if the pillows were bigger and more comfortable. They were very flat (more like a blanket) which made it painful to sleep as a side sleeper. Alex was a great communicator and easy to get a hold of!
