This apartment was in a very central and vibrant part of Barcelona so perfect as a home base for sightseeing or just exploring the city. It was clean, light and comfortable with excellent bathroom, kitchen and laundry facilities. Very close to public transport and also easy to find taxis. The neighbourhood was full of great shops to buy anything and everything you could want or need. The lift was a blessing although very small.
Upon our arrival we were warned that any noise at night was not acceptable, and we'd be evicted with no compensation if there were any complaints (which could arise from pulling a chair out noisily!) and this hampered our enjoyment as we were there for a week, and too scared that we would be evicted if we spoke too loud to really make the most of the comfy apartment. Also, this may be personal preference, but the beds are also very hard.
