First off, I can't think of a more perfect location to stay in Barcelona. It was close to amazing restaurants, bakeries, metro and bus stops, sightseeing, and shopping. The list goes on and on. The apartment was very clean and spacious, and the kitchen was sparsely equipped but usable for basic needs. There is a third room with no windows or any type of ventilation. It was bearable for the person staying in the room but it was also only about a high of 64 degrees during the day and cooler at night. I can't imagine what warmer summer months would feel like in that room. A portable fan would be a nice touch to have for guests just to get air moving. We LOVED the little balcony and cafe table and spent our mornings enjoying coffee and pastries from the bakery down the street while watching Barcelona "wake up" and then in the evening we sipped on wine and people watched. The only downfall is the noise. The street noise is really loud all hours of the day and night. The first night I was so tired from traveling I slept perfectly fine, but the next night I couldn't fall asleep until almost 5:30 am - trash being picked up, people walking and talking, cars, etc. It was a short walk to the metro station and Casa Batillo. We were able to walk to Sagrada Familia, La Rambla and many 4 and 5 star restaurants. A quick hop on the bus got us to Parc Guell and Montjuic. We walked down La Rambla and shopped and ended up at the beach. Another must see is the market - La Boqueria. My 15-year-old was obsessed with the juices and the food there. A feast for the eyes and the mouth! If it weren't for the noise I would say the apartment would be a 5 star, but I have to be honest about the noise. For those used to sleeping in complete quiet this would be hard.
