Though this apartment is not located in downtown Barcelona, its proximity to the metro & shops is fantastic & accessibility to and from the airport is an added bonus. The washing machine in the apartment is very convenient and access to a dryer is also appreciated. Relaxing on the rooftop terrasse at the end of a long day of walking and sightseeing feels luxurious. There was plenty of hot water. The only downside we came across was the lack of soundproofing.
