I stayed with my two sons who are in their late teens, at Jutta's apartment in the Gothic area for a week. It was perfect with three bedrooms and two bathrooms we all had plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen was equipped with the essentials so we made a few meals and the washer and dryer was nice to have. The wifi was great, I had to work a few days and this was important. Check-in was easy and the gentleman who checked us in also told us about some great restaurants. There is a grocery market around the corner and a fruit stand too. Right downstairs is a great little Italian shop with pastries and pizza. The location was perfect for exploring this old style part of town and it felt safe walking around early morning and late at night. The apartment was close to the metro and it was also easy to hail a cab when needed. There are a few bars right below the apartment, so sometimes it could be a little noisy outside late at night, but that didn't bother us and we all slept well. I highly recommend staying at this flat and would rent it again when we return to beautiful Barcelona!
