I travelled with three girlfriends for a two night stay in Barcelona, the apartment was perfect for what we wanted. The location was great - very central - you can see the Segrada Familia at the end of the street! And we didn't use the metro once to get around, we just walked everywhere, although one of the central stations is only a minute or two walk from the apartment. The host was very helpful and we were met by a lovely chap who was happy to give us recommendations on where to go. Would recommend!
