The apartment is very conveniently located (two blocks from the main street in Poblou Nou and 10 minute walk from the beach). It was a bit tighter than what we were used to but this is a more European style place so typical to what you would encounter. We probably noticed this more since we had a large baby stroller and a child's wheelchair. The apartment needed to be accessed by us using the elevator, which was ok but became a hassle due to the stroller and wheelchair. If you have a smaller stroller or don't need the elevator, then things should be fine. We were met when we checked in and when we checked out so that helped get us settled and finalize things on the way out. Everything was clean and we liked the AC being available, dark shutters to block out the sun and fans available throughout. Although we spend a lot of time in the apartment, we might have spent more time at the beach due to the great location. It is not right at the beach but it was great to walk the Rambla to get to the beach. We had a great time.
