Before I talk about this particular apartment, I want to talk about The Streets. They were all incredibly helpful and accommodating. My card wouldn't go through with the online form for the tourist tax, but they stayed in contact and helped us find a workaround. Any issues were addressed immediately - I really can't understate the responsiveness of this host. If/when I travel to Barcelona again, I will definitely look for a room or apartment from The Streets.

The apartment itself is awesome. It's in a wonderful location, surrounded by beautiful old buildings and a vibrant area of the city filled with great food and plenty of neat shops. It's only a 3-5 minute walk away from the metro. There's a supermarket 5 meters from the entrance. The beds were clean and comfortable. It has a wonderful view from the front *and* back - and the amenities like the clothes and dish washer make it perfect for a longer stay.
Some of the furnishings are a bit on the simple side - but really the tiny quirks like the mismatched chairs and an oddly placed shower door really just helped build the character of the place instead of detracting at all.
Overall, you simply can't beat this stay for the price. I'm incredibly happy and thoroughly satisfied we chose this apartment for our week long stay, as is every member of my 6 person group.
I highly recommend this apartment!
