The apartment was very clean, modern, well-located, and walkable to metros, the Gothic Quarter and Sagrada Familia. It is in a building with many other similar units, similar to a hotel, except there's no staff available. Like a lot of hotels, it lacks charm and amenities that one expects from short-term rentals that are intended to feel more home-like. It would have been nice to have a few basics to be able to cook a meal in the kitchenette -- there were only two coffee pods, a few packages of sugar and some salt. (E.g. cooking oil, vinegar, pepper, enough coffee, creamer and sugar for the full stay, etc. would come in handy and would be a nice touch.) Grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants are all nearby, but the street is kind of noisy at night. We did use the storage room for our luggage after we had to check out because we had a late train. We were a bit nervous about it because it's possible for other guests to get in if they are told the code, but it was fine.
