This was a great apartment for my family of four (two young kids). Beautiful and nicely decorated, very comfortable. Convenient and close to sights. We didn't use public transit (we used cabs and had a rental car) but Plaza Catalunya is just down the block where there's transit and an airport bus. The only notable thing about the location is that in order for the car to pull up front if you are coming from the eastside of Barcelona, you have to make a big loop due to the one way location - so it's kinda of a time suck. We ended up asking cabs to drop us off down the block so we could just walk the rest of the way. Only time it was a bigger issue was upon arrival/departure with our luggage. Francois was super responsive and provided a lot of recommendations for food (both restaurants and groceries)! He also provides clear instructions for wifi and check out info at the apartment although, it would have been helpful to include instructions to the washing/dryer. I had difficulty figuring out the best settings and even after drying, the clothes were a bit damp so it would have been nice to have a drying rack available. Also, we found out that due to insurance, they're not allowed to provide an iron, so pack accordingly! We would recommend this apartment to our friends and family.
