The apartment is in a great location. There are plenty of good coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is only two blocks from Placa Tetuan which has a metro stop. Also, I recommend you walk to the Arc de Triomf and into El Born where you will find quaint restaurants and the Picasso Museum. The apartment is clean, spacious and there is staff onsite for 16 hours per day. I would stay here again.
