This was an excellent "base" for us while touring Barcelona. The apartment was exceptionally clean/comfortable and located about 1 mile from El Born, and across the street from a bus stop, where we could also catch a taxi. It's a quick walk to the beach and easy access to Port Olimpic. The bed was very comfortable and the unit has a washer/dryer which works perfectly. If you're a light sleeper, keep in mind this unit is right on the corner of an intersection, so there's some traffic which makes a bit of noise early in the morning, but if convenience and value are your priorities - this is a perfect spot. Our host's communication was efficient, courteous, and made check in super easy.
