This is a great place to stay. It is only a short walk to the Rambla and the main tourist attractions, but it does not have a touristy feel at all. Which is what we wanted. There are a number of good cafes and 2 food markets IN THE BUILDING! They were very convenient. 5 minute walk to the waterfront, and 5 minute walk to the Rambla, with very easy access to subway and ample taxis make this apartment, with its seventh floor views, a GREAT place to stay.
