My parents-in-law were one week for vacations there. The stairs are a bit tricky, but despite of that, the apartment was great. Everything was clean and working well, there was much space for two people, the kitchen was fully equiped and there is even a washing machine. There are two heaters, but they only needed to use them the first two days. There is a little balcony and if you watch out of it you can have a nice view over the neighbour streets and you even can see Sagrada Familia! In the flat was it quite calm and not noisy, because it's a calm area. The place is located quite central. Plaza de Catalunya you can reach in around 25 minutes by foot. Close are also two bus stations. From there you can reach the beach or Plaza de Catalunya very fast. Also the metro and train station are close. To the busses you need around 5 minutes by foot, to the metro/train station 10 minutes. At last I want to emphasize that Marta was a very kind host. Thank you very much! Highly recommended!
