The apartment is actually better than it looks in the photographs, it was beautifully clean with comfy beds, lots of towels and hot water. Brilliant showers. Close to the metro to take you to the Ramblas or other sights but I am sure you can walk too. We were here for the marathon ( 3 women) and it was just perfect for that! communication was quick and responsive, Lydia met us at the apartment, gave us information on where to eat locally and was available by text at any time. We thoroughly recommend the apartment.
