We had a great stay in Barcelona. The apartment was big enough for the 4 of us girlfriends. Manel was friendly and made the check-in process very easy. Centrally located! We were able to walk almost everywhere. Plaza Cataluna and Las Ramblas were some of the places that were just down the street from us. The metro entrance was also close by. The area was pretty quiet and it was great that there was air-conditioning.
For the most part, the apartment was clean. But, a very old cigarette butt fell on me from the bottom part of the top bunk bed. And I did see a couple of cockroaches on the kitchen counter as I was cleaning up on our last day.
Overall, we did have a pleasant stay.
