We stayed in this apartment for a week in August 2014. The description shown by the owner is, as a previous reviewer said, somewhat poetic, perhaps written when the apartment was first furnished. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable although the armchair/sofa covers could do with a wash and internal paintwork could do with a refresh. If you are taller than 1.7m you might find the beds a bit short. That said the apartment is in a great location, a quiet residential area only 5 minutes walk from the nearest metro (Maria Cristina), the metro is great for exploring the entire city and all the must-see sights, fast, efficient and cheap. There is a supermarket just 2 minutes walk around the corner and past local artisan bakeries and cafes. Really convenient for all the necessary self-catering food and booze. The terraces are a great place to kick back and relax or enjoy an al fresco breakfast, good panoramic views. If you are not a sun worshiper you might miss an awning or an umbrella.
All in all, we thought this apartment was good value, in a brilliant location, perfect for exploring an outstanding city, we had a great time and would go back to Barcelona.
