The location is fantastic! We were there for the Barcelona marathon and sight seeing. The marathon start was only 1.5k away and the race runs by the apartment. The apartment is older but very clean and has a lot of space in the main area for friends to gather. The only things that were a bit difficult were the beds being hard and a shower that did not work great but this would not stop me from staying here. Thanks Valerie! You were a good host:)
