The location of this apartment made it walking distance to almost every major tourist site in Barcelona. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival, everything was explained to us clearly. The apartment is clean, roomy, on a quiet street near excellent shopping and a small supermarket a minute away. The owner was responsive to any questions I had. The only reason I gave the apartment 4 stars instead of 5 is because the air conditioner wasn't working in the bedrooms after our first night. The owner did say he sent someone to take care of it, but it wasn't fixed for some reason. Then I asked him not to come until after we left, because the weather became cool anyway. Other than that, which wasn't a serious problem, everything was perfect.
