Bad point are the noisy streets (which is normal in the city center). Needed to close the windows and turn on the air conditioner (in the living room) to be able to sleep.

I was very satisfied with the Cocoon Barcelona agency.

So, the not so bright things are… :) The furniture looks like it was collected from a junk yard, the chair covers are filthy and are in desperate need of a wash. The best bed is the futon in the living room. The walls need a fresh coat of pain, the curtains are nothing but dusty rags (serious), and balcony doors are ancient to the extent that they have a holes in them from which you can see the outside. We have stayed during a cold spell when it was +15 outside and it was quite cold in the apartment. The old gas boiler is capricious and took us a while to figure out. Do check with the person delivering keys how to operate the hot water.
BUT! It is seriously in the BEST location in Barcelona. It's very central, very close to everything, 2 lines of metro are 50 meters away. The area is beaming with life, many local fast-food places, two bakeries, a discount small supermarket (dias), a big supermarket with fresh fish and endless meats, a Chinese anything-for-a-few-pennies type of place, where you can get everything from a plug converter to a suitcase, a fruit stall, a clothes market, an asian store next to it, cafes, a cheap hairdressers (men's cut €4, ladies €7), a nice and fancy hairdressers, and lots and lots of electronics shops. At the same time, it's not too noisy and not touristy. The bars at the back of the apartment can be a problem but out of the week we were there, they were noisy only one day.
Overall, we loved it. It's an old place in an old building in an atmospheric and historic area of the city. It feels local and special to be there and as long as you can put up with old furniture, it's not bad at all. It's very spacious, very nice if you have kids with lots of energy. There is even a climbing wall in one of the bedrooms. The bathrooms are SPOTLESS, white tiles, fantastic condition, one bathroom has a window. Btw, the apartment itself was well cleaned. For me, the biggest win of all was the kitchen. It was the BEST-EQUIPPED kitchen of any rented apartment I stayed in - it has more kitchen utensils than my own kitchen. We juiced, made smoothies from fantastic local fruit and tried lots of local food from the big supermarket. I love to cook and being able to relax with a home-made meal after a busy day was a special treat.
Cocoon has been very professional. It was a bit hard to get the invoice out of the owner/manager, but in the end we had what I needed, so no complaints. Both the owner and Cocoon took care to make sure we were happy with our stay. Many thanks to you guys!

The thing that would make it excellent is to have better mattresses on the beds.

Second bedroom - some side lamps would have been very nice, plus some hooks to hang clothes
Wasn't sure what to do with the rubbish - we left it inside the big bins on the street.
Otherwise:
- Good internet
- Great location

But this was not a problem. We were out during the whole day and evening. We enjoyed to be independend, much more place than in a hotelroom
the TV has been checked and there was a problem with the antena. It has now been fixed!
