Wife and I had the apartment for 8 days. Overall, we were very happy with it. The location is fantastic. We were debating between Raval and Gracia - and while there are benefits to each, the location of Michele's apartment was the best. It was within walking distance of all the major locations, very close to metro stops, and right near a lot of great restaurants in El Born. We also used the kitchen a few nights - which was modern with all the necessary items. Check-in / Check-out were very easy, apartment was clean, and outside balcony was nice (although we were there in cooler February and did not use much). Highly recommend for overall comfort and location.
