The appartement is just like the pictures and very close to the metrostation Parallel. We enjoyed staying here, it had everything you needed (including a bottle of wine and towels). The shower er is small but very warm and nice. Only at night there was some street noise but I think that is always the case in the city center.
Rosa was very friendly and picked us up from the metro station. She is a lovely and enthusiastic women who sprake English well.
Some tips for our fellow travellers:
1) If you take the train from the airport (R2) get off at Barna Sants and then walk (7 minutes, inside) to the metro station Sants Estacio and take the green line tot Parallel.
2) Cheapest is to buy the T10 tickets to use in metro, R2 train and busses. We bought a 5 day Hola Barcalona card (2*30 euro) but would have had enough with 3 T10 tickets. Many nice places are at walking distance.
3) Go on a free walking tour (starts from the travellers bar - see google) at the start of your visit. It is a nice way to learn about Barcelona.
4) Enjoy the Menu del dias, overall good quality and local Catalan food (between 13 andere 16)
