All has been said! Excellent location to explore the city. I lived in Barcelona when I was a student so I knew it would make a good base for visiting the place again. You can easily access both the old town (La Ribera/Borne/Barrio Gótico) and the modernist part (Eixample), and if you do not feel like walking, there is Urquinaona metro station just next door that takes you straight to the beach, if you like. The appartment has all the necessary mod cons, it is very clean and quiet at night – a great plus in Barcelona! Virginia is very nice and charming and helpful. There was a technical problem and she was easy to contact and tried to solve the it as soon as she could. So do not hesitate to book this appartment.
