Great spot for easy access to everything you want to see in Barcelona. We felt like we were part of the local community in the apartment and enjoyed all of the restaurants and shopping nearby without being in the thick of other tourists. We never figured out the washer/dryer but a nearby laundromat was easy to use. The power and hot water both went out, though only once each, but the breaker box and hot water heater were easy to find and we just flipped them back on ourselves. Really enjoyed the place and Patricia was super nice and helpful!
