This apartment was a comfortable size for our family of 3. If you have a 4th person the place for the cot might be tight. Up until our arrival the communication with Elena, via "what's app" was very smooth and she arranged a friend to let us into the apartment. After we arrived I had a minor communication about the apartment and never heard back from her but it could have been internet related. For the most part the apartment was clean except for the couch which was so stained and grimy we put a comforter on it because we did not want to sit on it. The shower attachment was broken so we had to bathe by holding it over ourselves, also there was no stopper for the tub. It seemed like it would be a nice shower with good pressure if it was fixed. The apartment was very hot, even though the light looks lovely in the photos if you are there in summer you will probably want to keep the blinds closed to keep it cool. There is an AC unit which nicely cools the living room and helps with the bedrooms. I would not count on doing any serious cooking in the kitchen but there are sufficient bowls, cups, plates, utensils. For the location in the city, we were completely happy. It was close to my husband's conference and then the metro was quite easy to use for tourist sites. Les Corts stop is right up the street, there are lots of local options for eating and drinking at different times of the day and markets for shopping. Be sure to go to Plaza Concordia (just a couple blocks away) to enjoy watching the local families play and sit at sidewalk cafes. If you are traveling with kids, Barcelona is full of playgrounds often accompanied by a sidewalk cafe! Unfortunately if you have a stroller, the metro is not always so friendly. Plaza Espana is the worst, try to avoid it at all costs. Also if you have other options besides Aerobus for airport transit it was not reliable.
