Perfect location for 2 adults, 3 seniors, and an infant child. My family stayed at the apartment for a week and a half and had a marvelous time. Walking distance to Placa De Catalunya, Barrio Gotico, high end shopping on Passeig De Gracia, and an abundance of markets and restaurants (where the locals eat). We were there during the referrendum and though demonstrations passed through our street, it was great to enjoy the view from the veranda during this historic moment for the Catalan.
The apartment was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and convenient. The washer and dryer was a necessity for the length of time stayed and allowed us to pack lighter during our travels. Yes the internet was a little slow during peak hours, but it's not due to the wifi, the internet service provider was oversubsribed. Besides, you are in Barcelona, go out to a cafe and use their wifi and enjoy the city and view of the beautiful Catalan people. There are children's parks within walking distance where we took our 19 month old child, he enjoyed the vacation as well.
Lola, the host was very sweet and helpful. With our large party, she helped arranged taxi pick up and kept us well informed on the city strike schedule.
Cannot stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay at the apartment. We can live there!
