Located in a great part of town, the apartment is 5 min walk away from both the metro and railway network making it a breeze to get to / from the airport and around town if you're not walking.
Bars, restaurants and the best shopping in Barcelona is literally on your doorstep while the touristy areas are a 10-15 min walk away. A nice balance as you get the feeling of a local experience without being surrounded by other visitors.
The apartment is a good size; plenty of room for 2 and is really nicely updated. Very clean and comfy all round. Bed was awesome....I slept like a log. If you're travelling light, the washing machine is an added bonus; just give your things a wash and save the crazy checked-bag charges.
The building the apartment is in is on a fairly busy street so light sleepers probably want go bring ear plugs; anyone with mobility challenges and especially wheelchair users should note that while there's an elevator, there's 6 or 8 steps up to get to it.
Ingrid was super responsive and very helpful and has a really lovely apartment. You'll love it.
