Our family of 4 visited Barcelona for the first time, and this location was perfect for us. The apartment is small, but efficient with plenty of sleeping space, a serviceable kitchen and large table, and all the tools to cook if you desire. A small grocery store is right around the corner, along with a bakery, and many restaurants. The Barceloneta beach is about a 5 minute walk, and the underground rail is about a 10 minute walk. Very easy to get around. This is in close quarters to other buildings (very narrow streets), so if you are not used to Spanish culture, you need to be prepared for late nights. The air conditioner worked great, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom included a washer that made it great for our 4 day stay. We had a great visit to Barcelona and will definitely be back.
