This apartment has everything you need, the views from the balcony are breathtaking and there is a roof terrace right opposite the entrance to the apartment. We walked everywhere and rarely took a taxi, most tourist parts, ramblas and the gothic quarter are all within a 40 minute walk. We saw so much more of the city on foot and probably wouldn't have seen so much if we hadn't have stayed here. There is a street a few minutes walk from the apartment with many tapas eateries and bars and a supermarket right next to it which was really handy. I would highly recommend staying here if you really want to explore. There are quite alot of steps to the top floor but it did us good! :)
