The apartment is in a really good location, so close to La Rambla, Playa Catalunya and the gothic quarter. We walked nearly everywhere, this is achievable even with children. There is a shop opposite which is open 24 hours a day. It is a bit pricey but convenient and friendly. There is a lot of noise, from the street and neighbours, which we found difficult to tune out but our kids slept through. The apartment is small, but big enough for what we needed which was literally somewhere to rest our heads for 2 nights while we explored Barcelona. Unfortunately the apartment hadn’t been cleaned when we arrived, but the cleaning staff were friendly and managed to apologise and explain despite us speaking different languages to one another. The host apologised by message, though their solution of cancelling the booking and refunding us was not practical as we would have been stranded in Barcelona with 3 children and no place to stay! Because of this, on arrival the flat was unclean, but once cleaned it was spotless. This is a good apartment for a short break exploring beautiful Barcelona.
