The apartment is exactly as in the pictures. Elegant, airy, bright, clean, nice smelling and in the most perfect location to reach each important corner from the Barcelona's points of interest, by foot. Well, for some of them (ex Park Guell) you have to be in a very good athletic shape but it is doable :). Also the subway is of great help if you get tired, very good infrastructure! But beware at the pickpocketers. My husband got his cell stollen!
The parkings are very expensive if you are renting a car so it is better without if you visit Barcelona only.
Restaurants: I found them disapointing. Al Catalan: badly cooked food (seafood rather uncooked), the concierge lady was very rude, bad hygene, very expensive. In Boqueria: very slow service, not amazing food and expensive. I don't remember the exact name of the restaurant, maybe the others within the market are better.
