We were very lucky to find this property during our trip to Barcelona. The location was excellent. All of the shopping and dining that you can want is all walkable. We felt like we were in the middle of the best that Barcelona had to offer. Cristian (I think that was his name) was very friendly and allowed us to check-in early. Since we were coming in from a cruise, we arrived at the apartments at about 10 or 11 am, and Cristian at the front desk accommodated us. The room was very spacious for my family's needs. It had a living room, a table for four for eating, a full kitchen, and two bedrooms. The kitchen had everything that you needed (cups, plates, pots and pans, utensils, microwave, dish soap, even salt and pepper and olive oil). It only had one bathroom, which was our only gripe (since my daughter takes forever in the shower). We felt very safe, given each apartment had its own entry code that you used to enter the apartment building as well as your own apartment. We went up to the pool on the fifth floor, but it was locked when we got there, so we were not able to use it. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone that is staying in Barcelona, and when we return we will surely stay here again.
