This apartment is very contemporary both in terms of amenities and furnishings. It is located about 1/2 a block from the beach and about a 10 minute walk to the Metro in a fairly quiet neighborhood. There is a large grocery store across the street and and around the corner, and restaurants are not far. Note that if you have plans on a Sunday morning, you should reserve a taxi in advance as the trains don't run frequently and there are no taxis to be found in this area at this time. The apartment was well maintained with the exception of the dishwasher, which needs its lower tray replaced. Air conditioning units were available in all of the bedrooms and the living room, and worked well, and there was a small washer and dryer that worked fine as well. We very much enjoyed our stay at Ramon's place in Barcelona.
