This is an excellent location. Could not have got a better location. Was on Las Ramblas which is the main street. It is a 30 minute walk down to the water. 15 minute walk to the barcelona circle and mall, 20 minute walk to the market. We were greeted immediately upon arrival. Instructions were very clear. The apartment is functional, not luxurious but does the trick. We did not use the washing machine because there was no dryer. We brought a blow dryer and adapter but our adapter could not sustain the amps. The adapter did work fine for charging our phones. There was no shampoo or soap when we arrived but a towel was provided for each guest. It would be helpful if they left one or two extra blankets in the closets to use as needed. They only left one roll of toiletpaper for 5 guests and we had to run to the store. The window in the living room opens and the blinds pushout which gave a fabulous street view. In m opinion, it was all about location, location, location. The metro was 2 corners away. Supermarket is 2 blocks over (wine is $2 a bottle!). Overall, it was a lovely stay with lovely hosts.
