The apartment is not big but it is a perfect size for 3 people. It is in an old building but the apartment is modern. Kitchen is very nice and it nicely furnished. There are grocery stores that are 2-3 minutes away walking. Park Guell is about 9 minutes walking and la Sagrada Familia is little over 20 minutes walking. We walked everywhere. The neighborhoud is quite. The bed is comfortable and the pullout couch is big and also very comfortable. You will have pretty much anything that you would need in the apartment. The shower head pressure is very weak but it was not important to us. There are a few flights of stairs to climb. We did not mind. People mentioned that it is on a steep hill and really, it is not that bad. We were fine, good exercise climbing up. Sergio was a great keeping in touch and he even printed our train tickets. That was very nice of him. Only the first night, I could not get a hold of him right away to get the codes to enter the apartment. I got a little worried but he did respond eventually so it all turned out well. I recommend staying at the apartment and to go to downtown, bus stop and metro is close.
