The apartment was great and super conveniently located for my first trip to Barcelona. It was spacious and well equipped and it seemed like everywhere I wanted to go was within walking distance and/or just a short taxi trip away (which was always easy to hail out front). I was hesitant to book the apartment based on some of the other reviews but they all ended up being non-issues - yes there is a hostel downstairs, but we didn’t have any noise issues even on weekends; and yes the WiFi wasn’t good enough for streaming HD videos but it was dependable and there was coverage throughout the apartment though the apartment.
