In terms of location - this flat is absolutly great. It is close to many of my favorite restaurants, coffeshops and other shops. There is neat bars and supermarcets just by the flat. It is a great place to stay when exploring all parts of the city. However, luxury and elegant? Not by my standards at least. The picture's are not that missconcieving really size and decor looks almost like the pictures. Albeit when you take a closer look in person there are some major faults that does not seem lush or luxury to me, for example several whole's in the walls in the living room, missing door handles in bathroom, filthy wall and small shabby towels and lack of soap in the bathrooms (not a must, but from my experience as a host and guest, i would recommend to have this). This does to some extent take away some of the expecations of renting a "luxury & elegant flat", which according to my opinion would better be crossed out, to better meet guests expectations. However, what I do want to add is that the flat did despite some small faults meet all of our needs during our stay and I would probably stay here again when visiting lovely Barcelona!
