We had a great stay at Eduard's place. He came personally to let us into the apartment and spent time showing us how to operate everything and where everything was. He even helped us carry our bags up the stairs. Location was great - lots of restaurants around and walkable to Passeig de Gracia. We did not use public transport, so I cannot speak about how accessible the apartment is to a train or bus station (we used taxis for the most part to conserve the kids' energy). One negative is that the stairs to get to the apartment are pretty steep, though only one flight and the door to the stairwell does not open all the way which makes negotiating the stairs even harder, especially with big bags. The apartment is tiny, but this is to be expected in the city I guess. The bathroom was the SMALLEST one we have ever used, and the shower was small enough to not have elbow room (and we are not big people!) - but again, nothing we could not deal with.
