This is a nice apartment. However, there are several issues that need to be attended to. We travel a lot and, over the years, have rented many apartments. We have never seen an apartment that was in such a need of a deep, deep, deep clean. The bathroom, shower, sinks, and kitchen were especially bad. The cabinet knobs and many of the lamps and switches were sticky. We spent two days cleaning. The good news is that the apartment is that we left the apartment much cleaner. But that may not last. Another major issue we had was on the second day of our stay: we were having breakfast in our PJs when a couple of men opened the door (they had a key) and walked into the living room. They said they were there to install a door in one of the bedrooms. We had no prior notice. It was very unpleasant. Then, they spend hours working on the door, making lots of noise and preventing us from leaving the premises. The whole ordeal was a big downer. The apartment is managed by a company, not the owner. They are reachable; usually responding within a few hours. However, they rarely attend to your requests. We were also given the wrong address. Because of that the taxi left us in the wrong corner and had to wait for a person to come find us. With all the luggage that was an issue. Not a major problem, but a problem nonetheless. If not for the above issues, it would be a nice place to rent. The kitchen is tinny, but this is normal in Barcelona. The kitchen could be much better equipped. The beds are okay, but super firm. If you have back problems, these are very uncomfortable beds. The linens and towels were good. The couch is tinny; it fits two people. An additional couch or a couple of upholsters are needed. There is only one small table for work, which does not have a chair. By contrast, the dining table is large, with six nice chairs. The internet works great; wifi is fast and reliable. The washer and dryer are okay; it's a single unit. I try drying a few polyester (running) shorts and shirts once and they were damaged. We were there in winter and did not need the AC. But it is worth mentioning that we only saw a single unit in the living/dining room. The heat only has two positions, on and off, but this is sufficient in Barcelona. Depending on what you need the apartment is perfectly located or just okay. If you want to focus on the main tourist attractions, I would say the location is good. You will need to use the metro or bus to reach them, but they are relatively close. You can also walk to the Ciutadella park and El Born. The beach is within 15 min and there is a bus that takes you to is. If you are...
