This is a great apartment that is expertly run. The entire building is modern and setup for AirBnB. There is daytime staff in the lobby to help guests, secure access, an elevator, and modern lobby and guest rooms. The kitchen appliance are excellent, modern, and all working. The host provides all of the necessary utensils and even additional items like cleaning supplies, coffee station, and basic condiments. The location is fantastic. You have a private road outside that is off the main paths so there is no traffic noise and no street dumpsters. All kinds of small stores close by and the Sagrada Familia is just about 3 blocks away. A couple blocks the other direction is a main avenue with the V19 bus that takes you to Park Guell (and back it is a straight line route). This is probably nicer than most hotels you could stay in in Barcelona. Great reviews are accurate and while it is a bit expensive, you get concierge-type service and modern, new apartments. Very impressed.
