Great little apartment for a city trip. The apartment has its' own balconies and the terrasse is pretty much private (we never saw any other people up there, although we weren't up there too often). It's close to the "mountain", 7 minute walk for a great view of Barcelona. There are definitely apartments around that are more central but it's still pretty close to la rambla and there's a metro station close to it. Food and drinks around there are cheaper than when you have your accomodation at la rambla. A few things were a little worn out or didn't work properly (toilet flush and blinds got stuck...) but vincent straight away offered to send a guy to fix it.
