What a great apartment! We 6 adults had a wonderful experience over Christmas. The apartment is of course very beautiful, very clean and functional, and also very roomy with a large bedroom on one side of the kitchen/dining area (for the parents), and 3 rooms on the other side for our 4 adult children. There is a washing machine off the bathroom and our clothes dried overnight on a collapsible clothes rack we set up in the entrance way. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook a fabulous traditional Catalan Christmas dinner (including Sopa de Galets) with four courses! There are ample grocery stores nearby beginning with the famous Mercat de la Boqueria, in addition to Aldi's and Le Carrefour, not to mention a multitude of bakeries, butchers, convenience stores, cafés, restaurants, etc. Three different metro lines are also easily accessible. We would all most definitely stay there again. Thank you Carlos and Jose!!
