This is a very clean tidy (think IKEA) modern apartment in an older building. The kitchen is fairly well supplied. The location is an up and coming neighborhood quite close to Montjuic, an easy walk to the historic center. -- a real Barcelona neighborhood with lots of fruit stands, little bars and supermarkets -- you will not be overwhelmed by fellow tourists. It's convenient and clean. We picked up the keys from a lock box at a supermarket 2 blocks away. Communication was easy and effective. The downsides are that there is no door to the bathroom, you cannot darken the bed room completely, and you can hear the subway at night.
