This was a great place as it was close to the metro station so it was easy to get around in the city. The apartment is not in Central Barcelona but with the metro you can be there in 15-20 minutes. The outdoor space is great but we didn't get a chance to use it a lot since we spent a lot of time walking around in the city. There was some strange odor in the apartment from time to time but once you would stay in the apartment for 30 minutes it didn't bother us anymore. Overall a great experience.
