We had a lovely 5 nights in this apartment. It was spotlessly clean and really very large. Altogether we were 7 people and there was a lot of room. The photos are very faithful to the apartment. Ana and Pablo met us on arrival and gave us a warm welcome, with a welcome gift which was much appreciated. There was soap in each bathroom and loo roll, too. It really did feel like our place for a few days. The apartment is only 5 blocks from Plaza Catalunya, the main square in the city, near the main shopping areas and from where all the tour buses go from. We came straight from the airport using the bus which took us to Pl Catalunya. As we were a little early, we left our luggage in storage which is right next to the square and very close to the apartment. The situation is ideal, and for a big-ish group it was really impressively good. I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment. The only downside is nothing to do with the place itself... Barcelona was swelteringly hot - which is to be expected in August. The apartment had fans, though. Even so it was very hot, but I'm not complaining as I was looking for a bit of heat in summer.
