The apartment was very nice and centrally located. There are cafes and restaurants just outside the door. You could also walk to other central places like Plaza Catalunya. The apartment is big and has a fantastic balcony to the back yard which has room for everyone. Barbara was very nice and easy to talk to. She greeted us at the apartment at just the time we had agreed. There is also air conditioning in the apartment which was very good in the hot weather. We really enjoyed the time there and can recommend this to anyone coming to Barcelona.
