I chose this place for its location, perfect for walking to many of Barcelona's sights- Passeig de Gracia, Liceu, Palau de la Musica, las Ramblas, el Raval, etc. The neighborhood is a mix residential/commercial. The building itself looks like an office building with only this apartment, and it has a doorman during the day. The apartment is huge, super comfortable for a big group or large family. Our party of 5 people could spread out in 4 bedrooms. The only cons are: the decoration leaves a bit to be desired, it looked like it was furnished with hand-me-downs. The washing machine was not working but Gunnar tried to replace it pretty quickly. There is definitely a problem with hot water not reaching the shower of one of the bathrooms, but being that there are 3 bathrooms altogether we were able to use the other 2. In general, the place works, it's not the fanciest nor chic but all needs are covered. Gunnar and Guille, who did our check-in, are nice and responsive.
