Two us women traveling without husbands " girl trip" to Barcelona, the apartment was very clean and large and the lovely women who checked us in was very helpful, she came with a map and took time to go through locations of metro, restaurants, and highlights to see. The apartment was located in a great central location,we walked to water front harbor, only a 15 minute walk to arc de Triomf and Sagrada Familia and 20 minutes to the heart of los rambles , if you don't like to walk off all the yummy food, the metro is close or easy to get a cab .
