“Great Choice”
WIth 2 teenagers we just spent a great week in Barcelona in this hotel/apartment. The location is superb, walking distance from many major attractions. The environment is peaceful, safe, and relatively quiet (with the windows closed). There are good shops very close by where you can buy all you need - a supermarket just across the square - and excellent shops for luxury items too.
With regards to the smell on the last comment, ok the drains in large mediterranean cities can be a problem, but we found that by leaving the plugs in the bath, sink, bidet and anything else where the smell can rise, the problem can be overcome.
We loved it here, didn't want to go home, and would use again any time.
btw if you have any problem with travel arrangements, ask the hotel staff, they were very helpful
