Apartment is in a great location, felt safe even late at night and could easily walk into the historic centre or turn right for fashionable shopping and eating on Passeig De Gracia. Best point about the location however was the number of atmospheric, traditional good value bar / restaurants within two blocks walk. The balcony overlooks a shady public splash pool / park, we enjoyed hearing the toddlers splashing about and having fun, an interesting feature being the old water tower within the courtyard.
Communication was great and we were met on arrival. The building lobby is a little gloomy but the apartment is bright and modern with clean minimal floors and fittings. Doesn't get too hot as the sun is not directly on the windows all day, a plus point compared to those opposite which had blinds drawn and shutters closed 90% of the time.
Just felt that for the price the apartment was a notch below what could be expected, needs just a little tlc and repainting to bring it back up to a great standard though the tiled bathrooms were clean with decent showers and the kitchen was well equipped with new appliances.
Overall, great communication, central, fashionable location, decent apartment....if it was 10% better it would be perfect.
