Great location, right next to Arc de Triomf metro, and you can see the arc from the balcony. Great, quiet neighborhood with a bakery right downstairs and several grocery stores and several nice restaurants next door. A short walk into the Gothic quarter and all manner of great restaurants and bars. The apartment is huge, with 3 big bedrooms and a nice living room. Plenty of space for our family of 8. Jordi Sr lives in the apartment across the hall and is there to help with any issues. The apartment has AC, which was a huge bonus traveling in June, but the apartment stays really cool even without it, since it is shaded by trees right outside. There is even a nice little playground right outside which was nice for our kids. I highly recommend this place, especially for a larger group. Also, we drove in, and there is nice parking at the north bus station, which is a 5 minute walk away (there is a lot right next door under the Arc de Triomf, but our van was too big for it, but it fit great in the bus station). This is very nice, since parking in Barcelona is difficult.
