Very nice place, and worked well for our two families. The location (equidistant from Passeig de Gracia, Plaza Catalunya, and Sagrada Familia) couldn't have been better. Staff service was terrific, especially the visit on our first day to talk to us about the area and their recommendations. Service thereafter was equally attentive if a little stealthy (my e-mailed request for extra blankets was honored quickly though we didn't realize it until later as the request was filled without an acknowledging e-mail). Each day someone from Fernando's staff came by to make sure we were well taken care of. Plenty of towels and hot water, and the apartment was even well supplied with basics in dishes and cleaning supplies. And of course, and most importantly, wine glasses :).

Only downsides: WiFi was a little dodgy when being used by more than one or two people in the house at the same time, and I would echo the sentiments in other reviews that the overall condition of the building and unit was a bit more average than the pictures would indicate. That said, it served it purpose well and we would stay again given the opportunity.
