We stayed at this very cute apartment for 1 week and had a great experience. Check-in was quick, efficient and friendly. We know Barcelona quite well, and have stayed in several hotels and apartments over the years. The location of Wilken's place is outstanding - close to banks, metro, taxis are just down the street passing all the time (did not ever need to call one - just walked down and hailed a cab). If you are looking for a place that is in a more 'real' part of town (less touristy) this is a great choice. Although you can very easily get to Ramblas, old town or other tourist areas very quickly and easily. Walking distance to many grocery stores and even El Corte Ingles for great quality food and other stuff. The apartment was clean, modern, and had all we needed for a pleasant and relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend. :)
