Top class location - easy stroll to Ramblas and the Gothic quarter but not so close that the crowds and noise ruin your stay. The apartment is stylishly done up but with a very comfortable, warm vibe that makes you feel at home. Anna herself is a wonderful, gracious host. She took a lot of trouble to personally map out where to go and what to see - her local recommendations were spot on, including which churches to spend time on (Santa Maria del Mar) and where to go for the best paella (not Ramblas but further south in Barceloneta). I'd come back and stay any day.
