The apartment was easy to get to, we just hopped on the Aerobus at BCN (leaves every 10 mins) and arrived in the central square Placa de Catalunya, from there is was a simple/flat 5 block walk. Tomas works on-site and greeted us quickly. He showed us the place, quickly rectified some missing towels and pointed out some local markets and shops on a map in his welcome booklet. There was a small tourist tax to pay, which he collected and we signed the paperwork.

The apartment was perfect for our needs (family of 4). The layout was great; 2 kids in the middle room and adult space (bed/dining/living) on the street side. The street is quite busy, and sleeping with open windows in the summer months could be an issue (but wasn't for us in Feb). The apartment was clean and bright with high ceilings. Bedding was comfortable, good showers/bath, etc. The kitchen was well appointed and covered most of our needs for breakfast and simple dinners. There was even a well-stocked mini-bar!

The location is very central, between two metro stations and surrounded by bus lines - however, it is more of a residential neighbourhood instead of being in the heart of tourist locations, which some people may or may not appreciate.

We had some minor disappointments in the lack of some basic provisions that we had to buy (such as a box of facial tissues, paper napkins, kitchen roll and washing machine detergent- for the price, we thought these could have been provided), but on the whole the experience was very good and we highly recommend the apartment to anyone interested in a home-like place in central Barcelona.
