Great trip!
It sounds like you used the ATM to get enough cash for the apt. Were you able to pull out more than the maximum from an ATM?
One of my concerns with converting dollar to Euro was we wouldn't be able to get enough cash out if we were in a bind. I did wonder if the banks would adjust that if one asked.

Laartista, oh, back to Barcelona, are you still hoping to move there? The Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat is in the Barri Gotic near the Placa del Rei. Note that it is closed between 2 and 4 PM (and closed all day Monday).
Fetchwood, I raised my maximum ATM withdrawal limit at my bank before the trip, but that still doesn't guarantee the machine will allow you to take out as much as your maximum. So we had three different accounts we could access.

Joining this late because I just planned a trip to Barcelona for June 7th. Can hardly wait now that I have read your trip report.
laclaire - we actually emailed two years ago when we thought we were going and had to postpone until this year. Really appreciate the tips and laclaire would love to meet you if you are still there in June.

SJ, I only have experience with the one apartment I stayed in, Pedrera, which is linked above. It was a one bedroom, so not what you are looking for. The agency I used, Habitat Apartments, has a lot of apartments in the neighborhood of El Born, which is lively and fun, and the part of the Eixample where I stayed, on and around the Rambla de Catalunya (not to be confused with Las Ramblas), would also meet that requirement.
