This is a fantastic location, right at the Plaza Catalunya and the intersection of the gothic quarter and 19th century city, near to several metro stops, and Gaudi buildings. We were shifted to the top floor apartment - with two decks looking out over the city one to the sea the other back to the Sagrada Familia. This is not someone's home but is an apartment fitted out for rental. It has everything you need: two bedrooms, even two bathrooms! (This was handy when one had a drainage problem.) The kitchen is fine, with fridge and range but not a lot of implements or dishes. The extra couch in the living room supplies more sleeping space but crowds the small room. The decks are incredible and in warm weather would be amazing places to hang out. We could have used some more instructions on the heating, but we figured it out. There is an old elevator - (we were on the 8th floor!) but you have to climb some stairs to get to it.
