We stayed at the apartment after returning from a 2 week cruise. It was a great location for a family of 4 with 2 small children. It was nice to have the washing machine to clean the clothes. There was a metro station about 2 blocks away where your could access any part of Barcelona. There was a great little store across the street too where you could buy food. There were also many cute cafes close by and a bar below that had a great selections of beers. The host was very nice and let us check in early because of the early arrival of our cruise ship. She really went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend for a family, couple, or really anyone looking to visit the Barcelona area!
