The location is great for a stay in Barcelona. Walking distance to most sites in the Gothic Quarter and El Born. We took Aerobus from the airport. Stop is two blocks from apartment at the Placa Catalunya. Metro stop at also located at the same location. Also taxi cabs and tour bus stops at Placa Catalunya. Lots of restuarants and shopping close by. El Cortes Ingles, a large department/grocery store is a couple blocks away. Apartment was very clean and we really enjoyed having the washer/dryer and kitchen. Apartment is as shown in the pictures provided on AirBnB site, no surprises. Onsite doorman during the day when the building door is open. Elevator works well to take you to the fifth floor. Both checking in and out were fast, easy and simple. We enjoyed Barcelona and this definately enhanced our experience.
