It was a nice place for our family of eight. The apartment is close to all modes of transportation - the Metro is right around the corner, city tour bus stops are a block away, taxis are plentiful right out the door, and city bus stops are a half a block walk. Starbucks is on one corner. The smaller markets are a five-minute walk and Aldi is a bit further. The LaRambla area is a 10-minute walk. There are many restaurants to choose from within a 2-minute walk. We had unexpected rain so I would suggest to pack a small umbrella. Also, bring your own hand soap and kleenex/tissue if you use tissue as there was only two very small hand soaps and no tissue. We were told there were two hair dryers and there was only one. These are minor inconveniences, but when you have eight people trying to get ready all at the same time, it does make a difference. All-in-all the place was all that we needed for our three-night stay. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Barcelona.
