Great place in the heart of Barcelona. Check in was a breeze. For a reasonable extra cost the hosts arranged to have a driver meet us at the airport. He held up a tablet with my name on it. Felt like a rock star. He also gave us the keys and showed us around the place. Hosts had a bottle of wine waiting for us. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Apartment is on the third floor. But the elevation worked great when we needed to haul our luggage up and down. Fairly busy street outside. Not too loud, but earplugs take care of that. One minute walk to underground station. Numerous restaurants, bakeries and shops nearby. But plan on cooking breakfast in the apartment, kitchen is well appointed.
