Ok travelers, most if not all positive reviews were true. The place is in a great location for those wishing to be near las ramblas. Great restaurants and pubs/bars are walking distance, as are many attractions. A great plus is the proximity to the metro (which is ridiculously easy to use if you're familiar with a subway system at all)...also about 20 min from airport by cab and about 30-35 by aerobus with a little walking. Space is nice, a bit tight if you have luggage, but overall very clean, neat and suitable for up to 4 people. We were just my fiancé and I and we had no trouble. What kills is the stairs. We know that the info is listed, and please don't let this turn you off from this place because it's a good one all around, but just be prepared. If you need to carry luggage upstairs or plan on going back to the apt. a couple times a day, plan on climbing a significant amount of stairs. Check in was great, we met Ivan who was very helpful and showed us places on the map as well as some of his own recommendations which we used!
Overall, even with the high stair count, this place is a 10....PS: great pottery shop down the street for things to take home, Geull Palace literally 150 feet away...eat the pintxos for lunch (like little finger foods and great locations) and if you're from US, eat the gelato and drink the sangria!
