We loved our time in Barcelona. Excellent location and outstanding view, just as advertised. Everyone in the area was very nice and polite. It was one block to the metro. Prices at the surrounding bars, restaurants, and stores were very reasonable. We especially enjoyed the pizza place immediately downstairs. Apartment management was easy to work with and responded almost immediately to questions.
Overall, the apartment was a wonderful experience - charming, clean, good use of space. One exception is that Americans not living in large cities won't be used to the small shower.
We would definitely rent again. Highly recommend!
