This apartment is well-located - about a 30 minute walk from the Gothic Quarter, and you pass a lot of the downtown area en route there. It is on safe intersection and there are two grocery stores within 2-3 minutes from the apartment.
The apartment itself is okay. The biggest issue for my roommate and I was that the AC did not properly work - it needs to either be replaced or serviced. This is a problem if you plan to visit Barcelona in the summer, as it is quite hot and the AC in the main room is not powerful enough to cool the living room, let alone the two bedrooms. Also, please note the bedrooms do not have windows nor ACs in them. So it is not a comfortable situation for the summer. However, if you visit during the Fall/Winter, I guess it could be okay.
Also, there is water damage on the bathroom door that needs to be repaired. The sheets and general house amenities were somewhat worn out.
As a plus, the wifi was fast.
