Very nice 1 bedroom apartment, in a Central Location, next to Metro Station, well stocked with basic utensils for cooking, etc. Very good communication, including a booklet explaining details about the apartment, appliances, etc. Quick responses to emails and host checked in regularly. The apartment is roomy and comfortable and everything was in good working order. The apartment is on the 6th floor, with an elevator (small - holds 2 people at a time- but was great). Noise was not a problem, though the apartment is on a busy street in terms of traffic, being on the 6th floor and having good windows and shutters kept the apartment quiet. The apartment is on the edge of the older historic neighborhood as well as the newer Eixample district where the Gaudi buildings are. We walked to both the Gothic and El Born neighborhoods, but took Metro to La Sagrada Familia, though we could have walked there as well. The apartment is about 2 blocks from Catalunya Plaza, where there is a bus to and from the airport (it runs frequently and costs less than 6 Euros). Getting to the train station is a little more complicated. Barcelona is a great city with lots to offer and Koni's place is a great place to stay. Make sure you reserve tickets to La Sagrada Familia in advance, its an unbelievably beautiful and creative Cathedral and a must see if you are in Barcelona.
