This is the perfect place to stay for first time visitors to Barcelona. The apt is in the middle of the city and all major attractions (las Ramblas, Sagrada Família, markets, Columbus monument, gothic quarter with all the historic sites, Picasso museum, inexpensive Tapas next door, Aerobus transportation to the airport for less than 6 euro per person, and much more!) are within less than 30 minutes walk.
The combination washer/dryer was a nice touch so we did not have to hang up clothes on the balcony like the locals.
Since it was our first visit to Barcelona, Koni was very responsive to all my questions which may our visit stress free. We were even able to drop off our luggage in the morning and enjoyed a stroll through the gothic quarter while the place was being cleaned. The hair dryer broke and Koni dropped off a new one on the same day.
