Check-in was great. We needed to check in early and were able to do so. Apartment was super roomy and had plenty of space with amazing A/C throughout the apartment. Couldn't ask for a better location central to everything of interest. Tons of restaurants, with a supermarket and pharmacy just below us. 5-6 blocks from Passieg de Gracia and Casa Batllo. All major sites (Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas, Beach/Boardwalk) all within about a mile or so. Train station about 4 blocks away, bus stop right on the corner, or cab was only $5-7 Euros. It was great to be so close but not with all the tourists clogging the streets up or have things be over-priced. Barcelona waa a cool city to be in and this location was perfect.
