The apartment was very clean, lots of space, almost like staying in a hotel room with the modern feel and black our blinds in each bedroom.
The location is amazing, we could walk everywhere and metro stops also close by. Las Ramblas at the end of the block, restaurants, bars, shops all around, a fantastic organic supermarket virtually underneath the apartment was handy for picking up a few needed bits. We were also pleasantly surprised that the apartment was so quiet bearing in mind how central it is as we were travelling with a young child and been kept awake with noise in other apartments we have previously stayed in.
Communication with the host pre trip was good and I always had a fast reply. It was a shame we were not met by the owner at the apartment as the lady who gave us the keys did not know about the local area at all, she could not tell us where to find a local supermarket as we wanted to get a few breakfast things, nor where the tourist information place was to collect our prebooked metro tickets. However we did find these out ourselves by walking around but just would have been quicker to have been told and would have assumed these tips are part of the service fee added onto the cost of booking.
We travelled by taxi to the apartment and got one of the airport buses from catalunya main square for the return, both were super easy and reasonably priced.
Would definately return to this apartment, the location is definately hard to beat
