This place is perfect for 3 or 5 people. Excellent location, not too close to the noisy downtown, however close enough to La Rambla( about 15 or 20 minutes walk), where pretty much everything is around (the tour bus, shopping, etc), also around the apartment there are plenty places to eat as well as several supermarkets, taxis everywhere, as well as buses and the metro. About 20 minutes from the airport by car or 30 by bus/metro. I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Barcelona
