Paola's place is amazing! Short walking distance to Parc de la Ciutadella, right next to the Marina metro station, and a bit farther walking distance more towards the Gothic Quarter in one direction and el Poblenou in the other. On our trip, we were able to use public transit to get to and from the apartment very easily, which made it convenient to come back and relax in the middle of the day. When we were up for more of a walk, we had no problem getting down towards the Gothic Quarter, Placa de Catalunya and also Barceloneta. Great location for something not quite in the middle of it all, but very accessible. I'd recommend this place especially if you plan on eating out for most of your meals. The kitchen is great, but also quite small, so limited on space. One thing we wished for on our trip was a bit more natural light. It isn't always quite clear in the pictures, but the only outside light coming in is from the terrace, which is also quite small. On the flip side, this makes it easy to get some good sleep! To wrap it up, the wifi was fast, AC was great, having laundry was reeeally helpful, and overall we'd recommend this to anyone.
