Apartment is spacious and well designed. Location is absolutely excellent. Amenities are good and plentiful. Away from the hustle and bustle but near enough when you want to get there by foot. There are plenty of groceries and bakeries nearby (including an original French bakery - Eric & Benjamin) and Passieg de Gracia with a lot of the upscale shops is also a few minutes walk away. Many of the tourist sites are within walking distance or a short ride by metro or taxi. For our family of 5 this was the perfect place.
