We stayed in this beautiful apartment in December. It was relaxing, in a nice family oriented building with super easy access to the metro station - a couple of stops on the metro and we were in the middle of all of Barcelona's action. It's proximity to the train station (separate from the metro station) - a 5 minute walk - also made it easy for us to hop on to a high speed train to Madrid. The host was easy to communicate with before hand so we knew who to meet and where and left clear instructions in the apartment as well. Highly recommend!
