My friend and I had a fantastic stay in Barcelona because of staying in this apartment! We were right in the heart of the city and walking distance to many excellent restaurants and tours. We could easily take nearby public transit to the beach and to any museum. The apartment is very comfortable and brightly lit but also has dark shades to block the sun in the morning. The lift in the building and air conditioning were huge benefits as not every place has them! Thank you for a great trip to Barcelona!
