This is a good apartment to stay for a couple of days. The location is just great, right next to Placa d'Espanya which is a convenient place to start exploring the city in any direction. It is a good neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants around, a big shopping mall and at a walking distance from the Magic Fountains. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay, though it can definitely use some better upkeep. The water heater capacity and water pressure leave something to be desired as well. There's practically no sunlight coming in, but this is not a big issue if you're out sightseeing all day long as we were. What we had an issue with was the noise - you can hear everything the neighbours are doing and one night we couldn't sleep as there were some very loud people talking and singing at 4 o'clock in the morning in the apartment below. On the positive side, Isa is really nice and friendly, she greeted us at the apartment, showed us around the house and gave us some useful recommendations. She lives close by so she's easily available if you need some help. The first morning we had a problem with the electricity due to a blown fuse, so we texted her and she came within 10 minutes to fix it, which was much appreciated!
