Matthieu's apartment was very spacious and in a very good location apart from the small alley where it is located had many locals hanging out and smoking marijuana. Personally, I hate the smell but quickly got over this as we didn't have much choice! The apartment itself was clean and well kitted out with everything you need. We were without TV for our 5 day trip as most satellite channels didn't work but that didn't bother us too much as the kids could watch cartoons on our iPad lol. My only criticism was the heat in the apartment. It isn't offered with air conditioning. The thermostat read just under 30 degrees Celsius for most of our stay and was absolutely stifling. We had to bathe in cold water several times each day to try and stay cool which was only temporary and sleeping at night was so uncomfortable. if you are going to Barcelona during the hot summer months, I would highly recommend staying somewhere that offered air conditioning! Other than that, we loved the apartment and its convenient location.
