The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need for a nice stay in Barcelona! The rooms are bigger than the pictures online make them look, and there is the added bonus of a small shower room with a sink in the sunroom area - a very useful addition if you have more than two people trying to get ready to go out. The kitchen is functional and we were very pleased to have the clothes washing machine. The wifi is excellent and better than most hotels have, and we were able to use our Netflix account on the TV system as well. Check-in was all handled very well, and information provided was useful and helpful to get us started off (as were the welcome drinks!). The Arenas mall is about a 10 minute walk and is beside the Espanya Metro and train station, other Metro stations are also nearby, and we also had no problem flagging down taxis on the nearby streets when needed. A supermarket is less than a block away, and there are plenty of coffee places and restaurants nearby, as well as pharmacias. Overall, we were very happy with the apartment and the neighbourhood, and access to all the sights and places we wanted to go was easy and convenient. We also loved seeing all the people with their dogs at the park on the walk to the Arenas mall area!
