Absolutely fantastic location in Gothic Quarter; steps from a Metro station and walking distance from almost everywhere a visitor to Barcelona would want to go.
The place was a smart, well-maintained contemporary renovation of what appears to be a classic apartment building for the area. It has a very functional kitchen with a massive fridge by European standards and all modern conveniences. The living room/dining room is pleasant with a window opening onto a bustling, narrow street with (mostly) pedestrian traffic. The bedrooms are pleasant and somewhat shielded from the street which is probably a bonus in high season. The main bedroom is spacious but the smaller one is compact. The apartment is perfect for a couple plus one adult or two young children.
There is a very convenient and secure entryway and lobby as well as a small elevator for luggage.
Check-in was a breeze, even though our arrival was late. Marta, who greeted us, was organized, friendly and helpful.
A true 5/5
