Great location in the middle of Barcelona less than a minutes walk from Plaça Catalunya . Easy access to public transportation, grocery store/mall and other shopping. Many restaurants within walking distance. 1st floor apartment was quiet and had great air conditioning. Only negative would be that the laundry room is on the 5th floor of the building with no elevator and the dryer is practically useless. Hang dry available on the roof and much more effective for drying clothes. Other than that the apartment was great. Great apartment for 2 people.
