For those interested in visiting all that the city of Barcelona has to offer, this apartment is in a great location. Its a short walk to the metro which quickly got us everywhere we wanted to go, including Montserrat monastery, the beach, Palau Guell, the palace of music, aquarium. The walk to La Sagrada Familia was easy which was very nice for seeing it at night, too. Our intent had been to stay in town and visit as many sites as possible. The kitchen is small but perfectly appointed for what we needed. We wanted to do some simple cooking so we didn't have to spend as much money eating out. Its nice sometimes just to have toast or eggs. The place was very clean, too. Three of us stayed: my two adult children and me - each of us had a bedroom. It might feel cramped with more people, but hopefully, your intent is not to spend all the time in the apartment! Vicky and Agus recommended Bristol. After eating there twice, we second that recommendation. Check-in was very simple and the gentleman who checked us in was helpful and kind and professional. Thanks to the air conditioning on the hot July nights, we slept well. It was very convenient to have the washing machine: that enabled us to pack a little lighter.
