The location is ideal in terms of getting to historical sights and museums. The number 2 tram takes you to everything and is a 1 minute walk at best. Fero gave me accurate directions on how to get to the apartment from the train station. If you are coming from the airport, take the ($12 USD) CAT train to get to all the trams and metros in the historical area. The market below is great for picking up food and other items. It is quiet at night and the market gets going early with their set up so be patient with a bit of early morning noise. The apartment was comfortable for 4 people. We stayed for 4 nights and this was a nice home base. Thanks Fero!
