The best thing going for the apartment is it's location. It's close to Passeig de Gracia and a short walk to the metro and most of the sites. It's set back on a side street which reduces the street noise. Elena was gracious and charming as she worked through my arrival schedule. She also kept in touch throughout the stay to make sure there were no issues. There are plenty of restaurants close by, a couple down the street that were excellent.
