The apartment is extremely spacious and is in an elegant building on Passeig de Gracia, the main thoroughfare of the 19th century extension of the city beyond Placa de Catalunya. It is next door to the Mandrin Oriental Hotel and across the street from Gaudi's Casa Batllo. It is one block from the metro and a 15 min walk to the Gothic Quarter. Eike was a very attentive host helping us plan our trip well in advance and allowing early entry into the apartment. We had a couple of maintenance issues that Eike attended to as quickly as he could.
