We LOVED this apartment. It's located one minute from the Rambla, maybe three minutes from the Boqueria market, just as close to some of the lovely little plazas that make the Gothic Quarter charming. On weekends there's a market in one of them. So the location is great. The pictures of the apartment that are posted on the website are a fair representation - even though it's in an older building the apartment is modern in furnishings and in equipment (e.g. stove, dishwasher, washing machine, all of which we used).
The owner lives in Spain but is a native English speaker who communicated abundantly with us in advance of arrival. She gave us good advice about arrival and arranged for us to be met and escorted to the apartment. We got a good orientation and found lots of info about Barcelona waiting for us too. When we needed more information or advice while we were staying there, it was readily available.
The apartment was spotless and everything seemed to be in excellent condition.
Barcelona was wonderful and we took advantage of our location to spend a lot of our time in the old city. There are great churches including Santa Maria del Mar which is spectacular and the Cathedral. Santa Maria del Pi, which is very close to the apartment, was being renovated in October 2009 when we visited, hope it will be done soon as there's a great rose window. Buses and subways that will get you to the wonderful moderniste buildings in the Eixample or the superb museums in Montjuic are close at hand too so almost everything you want to see in the city is handy.
We absolutely recommend this property without any reservations at all.
