The location was great - it was pretty central. We were able to walk to a lot of areas, such as La Rambla, Casa Batllo, etc. There were many restaurants and supermarkets around the apartment as well. Checking in was a little confusing, because I assumed we would be meeting outside the apartment. However, Vadim's wife was inside the apartment already. Communication wasn't the greatest in terms of quick responses (sometimes it would take a day or two to get a response). The apartment was clean and tidy. The showers were a little small, but water pressure and temperature were fine. Overall, it was a great place to stay!
