Exceptional location and exceptional hospitality from Barbara and Ian. If you are looking to literally be right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, this is the place for you. Minutes from La Rambla and Basilica. Only caveat is the dark stairwell at night. I almost forgot what floor (4th) I was on. One thing that really matters to me is water pressure, especially in Europe. Great shower and very accommodating facilities. I was out a lot and didn't take full advantage of the kitchen, but everything that you need is available in their apartment. You basically have the space to yourself. One of the small, but very important touches that they offered were a variety of chargers for US and UK electrical hook-ups. VERY important when you're traveling from country to country. I could not recommend this place more highly. 5 Stars.
