| When we arrived at the apartments (which were in a lovely location) we learned that we were actually being moved to a differenct set of apartments - so I therefore can not rate the Downtoan Apartments themselves. The staff however were friendly and helpful and the replacement apartments of a good standard. |

| Its was in the middle of the centre that was perfect. There was no closet for your clothes. The pictures on internet where much nicer as in reality. There was poor light. There was no hairdryer as was told on the internet. |

| As someone else said, it is smelly on the stairs. Otherwise, the apartment is basic, has very basic furniture and the main thing going for it is its location in the heart of the gothic quarter. |

| Insufficient lighting, no reading lights and a little sidetable would have made a big difference. Also no lights over the kitchen bench. Otherwise, for a studio apt and the price, it was adequate and the position in the El Born area was fantastic. Close to the Picasso Museum and the best tapas bar in Barcelona. A tip for future travellers with a car, the market car park is the cheapest for long term stay at E22.80 per 24 hours. Cheers |

| The apartment was very clean and spacious but the kitchen facilities were poor. It was ok for a night or two but if you were staying a week it would be difficult to cook a meal which we like doing and savouring the local produce from the markets. The staff we met were very friendly and helpful in every way. |

| Great location, right in the heart of it all in a safe neighbourhood and just a 10 min walk to Las Ramblas. Staying there makes you feel like a local with many funky restaurants, bars etc nearby. Overalll I would recommend this to everyone! |

| Very central location, near St Maria del Mar, in the old Latin Quarter. Rambla is close, shopping is around, seashore is close. No wifi, just internet via cable, You should order before. |

| The Downtown Apartments are aparently in 3 blocks. Those shown on the website were not representative of the ones we were offered and smaller than the 40 sq m quoted. They were in need of modernisation and decoration. My complaint to the company was given the response that the apartments shown on the website were full. There was alot of noise from people passing outside about 3 am on both Friday and Saturday, although Sunday night was very quiet. The Gothic area was very atmospheric and the general location of the apartments was very good. |

Bedding could be improved. |
