I would recommend this apartment. It is centrally located, near Las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. There also was a market very close by. The apartment was clean and the beds were very comfortable. While they give shampoo, conditioner, and soap, they do not replace it like in a hotel - so bring some too! (We did and it was fine). The washer was broken and was never fixed, although the management sent a maintenance person twice, so they were attentive. Unfortunately it was never fixed and we packed light because we thought we had a washer/dryer. The air conditioning works, but doesn't go below 22 degrees C., which is fine for the day, but if you like to sleep in cold temperatures it is a little high. The elevator broke one day, but, again, management was quick to get it fixed by the end of the day. Just so you know, you can not sit on the balconies, just look out, but it is a great view. The apartment was overall a good experience.
