* This apartment had room enough for two adults and two children comfortably. Third floor apartment, and the building is the last on the block, so three sides have windows which is very nice and cheerful. The bedrooms have layered two sliding glass doors, with the sun shade being a third layer, which makes them very well insulated from the noise of the busy street the bedrooms face. The quiet and sunshine were the best parts of this apartment for most of our stay, however when these same owners rented out the apartment below on the weekend and music and talking went on late late into the night (all night?), it was less pleasant and earplugs were needed.
* We did not find good restaurants immediately nearby, but a bit of a walk away. We did not use public transportation, but taxis pick up right next to the bus stop on the busy street, we never had to wait more than a few minutes, and the rate was always about eleven Euros each way to go where we wanted to go in town.
* When I asked Alexandra if there was an English-speaking church in BCN, she quickly looked it up for us and it was a great church, the International Church of Barcelona. We were so glad for this.
* WiFi and air conditioning worked great. We did not use the small kitchen as we prefer to eat out.
* The decor is familiar; I felt like we were 100% in an IKEA store. The beds had only a bottom and top sheet on them, so if you like to sleep with a blanket, be sure to ask in advance for them to provide a fresh and CLEAN blanket.
* For only two people, it would be a better value to stay in a nice hotel with services, but if you have more than two people, you can justify the high rate this apartment charges ($220USD per night + additional tourist tax in cash Euros), and it is definitely nice to have two bathrooms.
