Location...Location. This apartment is around the corner from Casa Gaudi and the Metro station. There are many restaurants around, and Plaza Cataluyna is one Metro stop away, lots of shops there including the department store El Corte Ingles. There are 2 resturants close to the apartment, La Rita and Vinitus, great food at both., and a bakery next-door, Le Fornet (cranky server) but great pastries. The Air B&B host was extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment is in an old building, and has an elevator, we were on the 6th floor. The apartment is roomy and the master suite is large, the 2nd bathroom a little too small. We had use of the washer and dryer which was great due to we were in Spain 3 weeks. All in all, the place fit us perfectly and we enjoyed our visit to Barcelona enormously. If you get bored there are many books in the apartment's library, for extra bonus we had a very nice view of the area from the 6th floor window. Overall it is great value and a nice place. We're already missing Spain and the great food and awesome sites.
