This apartment is located right next to the Parallel train station, which goes to every place you'd want to like Park Güell, Las Ramblas, etc. It is a five to ten minute walk to the main touristy areas which is nice to be away from that because all the nice tapas places are a minute away from you like Quimet&Quimet! The apartment was home for my partner and I for four nights and we were very comfortable. It was clean and had everything we needed, including a washing machine that was easy to use. The apartment is on the third floor (which is equal to a U.S. 6th floor) which was not made clear to us when we arrived and tried to take the stairs up with our luggage. My advice when you arrive, take the elevator!
