This apartment is perfectly placed, within a block of the Metro (and the Casa Batllo), and within walking distance of the Plaza Catalunya and even the Sagrada Familia. Use of a passcode eliminates having to dig for a key, and access to the apartment (by elevator) is excellent. The apartment itself is spacious and well equipped, including adapters for cell phones. The only negative is that wifi is somewhat slow and may not permit the downloading of larger files. In fact, we had no wifi connection outside of the apartment, so I just sent/checked messages and emails after I got back for the evening. The kitchen is fully equipped (and the location of the clothes washer and drier), and everything was in working order and very clean. It was easy to send/receive messages to/from Kim, our hostess, before we went. This was our family's first airbnb experience, and it was a great one!
