The location of this apartment is FANTASTIC! Just far enough away from Las Ramblas, it was quiet during the evening, and bustling during the day. A short walk to the metro station, you could go anywhere in Barcelona. Antonio met us on day 1, and provided us with great restaurant recommendations, a map, tips for exploring the city and pointed us in the direction of the grocery store. The apartment itself is beautiful, with high ceilings, plenty of sunshine and all the modern amenities that you could need. One thing to note - the kitchen is stocked with appliances but was not stocked with things such as salt, pepper, oil, coffee, laundry detergent, etc. If you need those items, you can pick them up at the grocery store (about two blocks away) for fairly inexpensively. There's a N'espresso shop around the corner too. The AC is super efficient and a huge relief after spending the day outside in the hot Barcelona sun! The building itself felt very secure, with multiple doors to get in, a door man and the elevator was welcomed after spending all day walking around. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed!
