Amazing apartment, stylishly quirky, in the middle of the gothic quarter. Easy walk to the beech, La Ramblas, the old Cathedral, Picasso museum (highly recommended). And a few short metro stops to Sagrada Familia and Park Guell - both absolute musts. Two Metro stops in under 5 mins walk from apartment
Food amazing - either set lunch menus wherever looks good, or for evening splurges 'My Fucking Restaurant' and 'Canete' are amazing Tapas places and just 5 minutes walk away.
We visited in early January and apartment was warm and comfortable down a main street that is pedestrianised most of the day and well lit at night (very safe but quite quiet). Arrived to lovely touches including fruit, wine, tea and crisps, and Juan Carlos hosted and was very friendly and informative.
Would recommend and stay again.
