What you're paying for here is the location. The apartment is right in the heart of Barceloneta, right in the local neighbourhood with all its squares, bakeries, small shops and so on, as well as being just a few yards from the main tourist strip, and just a short walk from the metro in one direction and the beach a bit further in the other. If you want to spend a month or more in Barcelona, you couldn't do much better than this, location-wise. In most other ways, the apartment is basically adequate. It has everything you might want but all of it a bit small and unremarkable. The shower in particular will cause you problems if you are above average in size. It's a real squeeze to get in and out. As other reviewers have remarked, the two bedrooms are problematic as you have to walk through one to get to the other. The smaller single bedroom is perhaps the nicest room in the apartment, as it has a comfortable bed, a little balcony, and a decent wifi signal, unlike the living room where the wifi annoyingly drops as soon as you sit on the sofa. For a few days or a week or so, you could probably put up with this, but the requirement to stay at least a month would make me want to pay more for a better experience in future.
