Great location in the Pablo Sec neighborhood with easy access to all of the main visitor sites, metro, and airport. We had four people and were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The best part is the balcony overlooking the cruise port and sea. We had tea, coffee, and breakfast each morning there and ended the nights with a glass of wine on the balcony. The unit is quiet; we slept with the windows open each night. We used the kitchen - all amenities including washer were used. There was a nice breeze in the unit, so we washed clothes and they dried overnight. Wifi is great.
The gothic quarter and centre city sights were 15-20 minute walk. We always felt safe - no issues walking. Metro access via Parallel station is a five minute walk up the street. We used the metro several time - very convenient for a family. We took a taxi, four people with baggage, from the airport to the unit for 28 Euro - the bus would have been 23 Euro. The trip took 20 minutes. We had no issues getting a taxi to the airport. Though Nuria arranged a taxi, there are plenty of taxis that drive by the unit to get the cruise port area day and night.
There are several small markets in the building. The larger market is a 10 minute walk. We shopped at the larger market several times - bring a carry bag to help yourself.
Nuria was very helpful with tips and restaurant information - we had dinner at several of the Catalan restaurants she suggested. Very good. Please make reservations though. Nuria was very responsive - we arrived early at the airport. I sent her an AirBnB message saying we would be early - they arrived at the same time to let us in the apartment. Thanks!!!
There are two little restaurants in the building - we were going to eat there one night but ended up going elsewhere to explore. They both looked great and were always full day and night. So if you arrive and do not want to walk you have that option.
All in all - a great find!!!
