Very friendly and efficient check-in. Taxi was €35 from airport. We called a taxi from outside the apartment in less than a minute when leaving, which cost €25 .
Apartment is really well located - very close to everything you could need. Metro c. 5 mins walk; supermarket opposite; coffee shop for breakfast 1 min walk; lovely 20-30 min stroll to La Rambla. The area has some great bars and restaurants and is away from main tourist haunts, making them more 'authentic'.
Apartment was clean, good wi-fi, good kitchen facitilities (we didn't use). Not luxurious, but perfectly comfortable and a great base. A bit of street noise at night, but nothing serious given its location in a major city.
We would happily stay there again!
