The studio of Alvaro & Pol perfectly fitted our needs. It is in the middle of Eixample, 10 minutes walk to the Sagrada Familia, 15 minutes walk to Casa Milà, Casa Batlló and Ramblas / Plaça Catalunya. When we arrived we were sad that we didn't have the balcony and view to the street, but we ended up being very happy about our studio at the backside of the building, because it was very quiet, without any noise of the traffic.
We arrived in the morning and Alvaro had organised that we could already get into our apartment, without having to wait for the cleaning, which suited us perfectly.
When we needed something he answered immediataly and helped us out.
I will definitely recommend the apartment!
The only negative point was the noisiness. We could hear every step and every word from the neighbours above us. Luckily they had approximately the same bedtime as we had, otherwise this had been a problem.
Tip:
From the airport Barcelona El Prat you can take the Aerobus (tickets at the ticket machine or at the bus) to Plaça Catalunya, from there it is a 15 minute (very nice) walk to the apartment.
(Don't forget to check which terminal you fly from at your return flight, as there are 2 different buses from Plaça Catalunya to terminal 1 or 2, and the terminals are rather far away from eachother.)
