Open, clean, and quiet space about a 15 minute taxi ride from central Barcelona, and located in a great neighborhood called El Poblenou -- which is worth a visit in its own right. The free parking space provided in the building was a big plus for us, as we rented a car for our Spain trip. Check in was easy. I judge this apartment to be in a highly recommended location, if you don't want to be around the crowds of tourists near central Barcelona.
