This was our first trip to Barcelona and we were very comfortable staying at this apartment. It was great to have extra space of three bedrooms for our 2 teenage sons to each have their own room. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was great in the heat, and we appreciated having the washing machine to do laundry. The kitchen had the amenities that we needed to make a couple of simple meals and there were bakeries and grocers nearby. The location is close to metro stations which can get you to most of the places that we needed to go fairly quickly. The wifi worked well and the television had a lot of English speaking channels. Our host was quick to respond and outlined all the information we needed when he met us to check-in.
The only thing to note was that there was a big festival on for the first couple nights of our stay. It was really fun to experience the activities all through the neighbourhood, but the concert in the square one block over was very loud until past 2 am. Since it is an annual event held in August (Festa Major de Gracia), it is just something to keep in mind if you are planning your trip during that time.
We had a wonderful and enjoyable stay in this apartment and highly recommend it, especially for a family of 4 like ours.
