The apartment was great, one of the nicest and best equipped that we have stayed in. The area couldn't have been better; view of the cathedral from the balcony ( though not for small children or anyone with vertigo!), close to the metro and lots of nice cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. Frederick was great, met us at the apartment as arranged and showed us around. We like walking and it was an easy and interesting 30 minute walk to the old town past all the interesting architecture of the Eixample. Our favourite place was the small tapas bar in the market nearby. Would definitely stay here again.
