Overall, this is a wonderful place! It looked just like the pictures and was rather large for 2 people. It was clean and comfortable. Our hosts were easy to access and quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved being able to immerse ourselves in the Barcelona culture by being in a more 'local' neighborhood rather than in one of the mass-tourist hotels near the beach, but we also did find ourselves walking in one direction most of the time. If you plan to spend all of your time in Barcelona at the beach, you might want to look for something closer. Otherwise, there is a bus & metro just a few short blocks away which was very easy to use and made getting to many different spots very quick. There is a large grocery store a block away and the flat had sufficient essentials to cook small/simple meals. The flat is up 4 flights of steps (no elevator), so pack light! The air conditioning was a delight as it was HOT out when we visited. I never thought that I'd say this, but one of the highlights of Barcelona for us was the Apolo night-club, ~4 blocks from the flat. They have a no-rap/pop night called "Nasty Mondays". The close proximity led us sleep for a few hours, then wake up at 2AM to go 'party' with the locals and then have only a short walk back at 4AM.
