This is a professionally managed property through an agency. The agent was very polite and helpful. It was approximately 6 blocks to the actual property from the rental office. The apartment is roomy (long and fairly narrow), and was furnished well, with plenty of niceties like tourist info and soaps/towels. It is in a central area of Barcelona, which meant noise from the street and the sound of apartment doors closing in the stairwell. The back 1/2 is quieter. It was clean, but does show signs of age. The a/c units were great.
