Loved having 24 front desk help. They have a computer you can print from which was handy to buy tickets in advance if they didn't have a digital ticket option. There is nothing to complain about the apt, it just lacked charm. I think they are rent only apartments. They are very functional with dishes, fridge, freezer, no diswasher and no left over salt, pepper or anything. The metro stop it right out the front door, double pane windows blocked the street noise. The shared laundry is open 24 hours a day. They can sell you tokens and soap at the front desk. 1/2 hour to wash and 1/2 hour to dry--and it was that good!
Best washer/dryer experience I've ever had in Europe. Not near tourist stuff but some good local restaurants, Cort de Ingles grocery 3 blocks away and just a few metro stops from the tourist attractions. It wasn't cheap.
