The apt itself is fine, the door to and stairs up/hallway are not. A/C is in the back bedroom, so all other rooms are hot in the summer. They had no coffee maker and on a 4 night stay did not want to replace it, referring us to the nescafe machine with two pods.
Aerobus is convenient. 15-20 minute walk to the Ramblas. And bus/metro stops within a block or two.
It was nice to be given a serenade of Volare by the local homeless when we walked to the bldg door. He was pretty good and always had a smile.
