The apartment was great for us. It was in a great location and it had everything we needed during our stay. The company that corresponds with you is very responsive. They always got back to us right away with questions we had and were always pleasant. They even worked with us about the time of check-in because we weren't exactly sure when we were getting in. Check-in and check-out were easy. We loved sitting at the table on the enclosed balcony in the mornings overlooking the courtyard. Catalunya Square, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, Arc de Triomf are all about 10-15 minute walk from the apartment and the metro is about 2 blocks away so the apartment is very convenient. There is a 24-hour market around the corner, a pastry shop, and some restaurants close by. We got in late the first night and went to Georgio for Italian food right down the street. The food was great and the servers were friendly and great. There is a washer and dryer at the apartment. The washer took me a little bit of time to figure out and the dryer doesn't work. It didn't bother us because we weren't expecting there to be a dryer. The apartment does offer a drying rack and we were fine with that. We would definitely stay at this apartment again if we come back to Barcelona.
