The apartment is truly beautiful and was was larger than we expected. Very spacious and luxurious for us (recently married couple on vacation). The location in Poble Sec is awesome. Great Pinxos right on the corner, as well as some awesome Pakistani food throughout the neighborhood (recommend the biriyani at "Neighborhood Spicy Restaurant"). It's also right next to the big park on the mountain and walking distance to the Joan Miro museum (one of the best we've ever seen), and the magic fountains, etc. The balcony is an awesome touch, as is the laundry and dishwasher. ACs work great and cool of the space quickly. We were fine with having to walk up 6 flights of stairs ... it made us feel less guilty about eating all of the great food. Especially the daily cakes at the fantastic "Spice" cafe around the corner (which is also the best local option for coffee, BTW)
