This property was incredible! I echo the previous reviews in saying that it is even better than the images.
The apartment was spotless, the bed very comfortable and the check-in process was super easy. We arrived late at night and the host gave us great instructions for accessing the building and finding the keys. The elevator worked perfectly and was a good size (considering Europe-sized elevators)
I enjoy cooking and found the kitchen had all items I needed. In addition, there is an American coffee maker, electric hot water pot and plenty of plates, bowls, etc.
The washer/ dryer is a combo (one machine) and worked well. The wifi was powerful and worked in every room of the apartment and the cable TV had plenty of channels (and some in English too!)
One very nice touch was the open shower, which felt like a luxury given the size of showers I have experienced in Europe.
The last note is how incredibly quiet the neighborhood was at night- its a perfect place for those who enjoy the peace, but if you plan to party I can imagine you would be heard for blocks....
The area is good- a short walk to 'the church', a slightly longer walk (perhaps 30-40 minutes) to Diagonal, Garcia, Las Ramblas and the ocean, but very doable. There are plenty of small markets within 1 block and a fantastic full-sized market just 3 blocks away. Taxis are everywhere and the train station (blue line) is 3 blocks away as well. The area felt very safe (though there are not many 'unsafe' parts of Barcelona)
Another tip- there is a small electronics store right next door to the buidling so if you need any adaptors or chargers, they are right there, and at a very fair price too.
My husband and I would stay at this property again in a heartbeat!
