We spent more than a week in this apartment, and had a great time! The location is excellent: quiet enough that you can get a good night's sleep, but very close to an L1 train station (Rocafort) that can take you anywhere you need to go. If you don't want to take the train, it's a pleasant 20-25 minute walk over to the Plaça Catalunya, with plenty of cafes and shops along the way. The apartment is on the top floor of its building, accessible by a long flight of stairs or a tiny elevator. It is thoughtfully arranged with everything you need (including a fully-equipped kitchen and washing machine), and is much larger than a hotel room for the same price. It has working A/C, which was mostly able to keep up with the heat of late summer. The best feature is the private terrace, which is lovely for relaxing with some wine and cheese in the evening. There's even an extra outdoor shower on the terrace, with its own hot water heater! Gemma and her husband were in constant communication, worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our stay, and were very accommodating with the fact that we spoke only English. It was a great home base while we explored the city, and we highly recommend it!
