I was in Barcelona for a conference at the CCIB, near Forum / Diagonal Mar.

The apartment is large and well appointed. Has pretty much everything I needed for any 4 day visit. It was less than 10minutes walk to the conference centre and the massive Diagonal Mar shopping mall there. There were some but not many "everyday" shops near the apartment. And about 10euros by cab from the Rablas area.

I was met by a lady, who was very friendly and helpful, even though she couldn't speak English. I had arrived a bit earlier than expected and it was still being thoroughly cleaned. There were plenty of towels, toiletries and even spare toothbrushes provided. The wifi was adequate and straightforward to log into.

All in all a very comfortable and convenient alternative to a hotel when there for a conference.
