This apartment was BIG and seemed brand new! Checkin was simple, and It is right in the middle of Las Ramblas, Rambla, the Main Street in town… Fridge, microwave, very nice bathroom, good water pressure, enough room for 4 of us (5 if needed) and directly across from Mercat de la Boqueria (a huge food market open from 8am-8pm). We were only there for 1.5 days but could have eaten there every meal. There are 2 elevators and the apartment had awesome AC! We have a friend who lives in Barcelona and she doubted we would have working AC but it was perfect! She was surprised. The reception had a taxi waiting for us right out of the door on the sidewalk when we asked for it at 8am. They couldn’t be more friendly. There is currently construction on Las Ramblas, but we didn’t hear any of it. The only negative is that we could hear the closest elevator in our room, but coming off a cruise towards the front of the boat, it actually sounded exactly like the bow thrusters - deep rumble - so it didn’t bother us at all. We would stay there again even if it cost a little more - the kitchen and bathroom, and the spaciousness are all worth it.
