This is a well situated apartment being 1 minute from the la ramblas. The one down side to being so close is that the area remains noisy well into the night. As a base to visit the gothic quarters and proximity to metro entrances you will find nothing better. The apartment is small but has everything you need for a long weekend stay in Barcelona. Be aware that the stairs to the apartment are steep and the space is tight, if you take luggage pack light.
