The apartment is very well located in Barcelona if you want to be by shopping and restaurants. It is in the rear of the building so noise was never an issue. Check-in, communication, and preparation of things like a baby cot went very smoothly. However, this apartment's bathrooms and kitchen were not cleaned well or maintained well (e.g. a clogged sink in one bathroom, which they sent maintenance to fix but wasn't fully resolved). If they fixed these issues, it would have been totally great, instead it was just okay for us.
