Our introduction to Barcelona was made all the better with staying here. The location is perfect for many reasons. It's close to the beach, there's countless restaurants, bars, cafes, markets and shops all within easy walking distance and the public transport system is very efficient for exploring. We love the elevation which takes in the enormous view west. Note that there is no view towards the Mediterranean though. The space is small which is common for apartments in Barcelona and was perfect for a couple. It's also very protected from the street noises due to its elevation in the building. We are returning again in September for another long stay and are looking forward to it.
