We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and in this great apartment. It was exactly as it was advertised. Alex did an excellent job providing us with all the information we requested prior to and during the stay. The location is great and really convenient to the beaches and some good "more local" restaurants. It is also a very short walk to the subway which allowed us to get everywhere we wanted in the city. The apartment had everything we need for our 5 days in Barcelona. We had our 17 year old son and 15 year old daughter with us and they loved the freedom of being close to the beach so they could explore the area by themselves as well. The washer and dryer were great especially in the heat as we were able to keep our outfit options available throughout the stay. If you don't prefer using the subway it was only about a 1-2 mile walk to Las Ramblas and less to the Born district. All in all this was a great place to stay and we will recommend it to our friends and family when they visit Barcelona.
