This was a great apartment with an amazing balcony. After long days of sightseeing , it was wonderful to come back and sit outside with a glass of wine where there was a cool breeze and a great view. Morning coffees were the best. A couple of blocks away is a thriving boulevard with restaurants, little shops, and outdoor dining. Much less touristy than the downtown core but vibrant and fabulous. It was nice to get out of the touristy areas at night, less noise and just a couple of stops on the metro which is a 4-5 min walk from the apartment. We bought a Hello Barcelona metro card for the 4 days we were there and this allowed us unlimited access to the subway, buses, and train to the airport. The metro is Fast, efficient, easy to navigate, and very clean and safe. Apartment is clean and comfortable, we didn’t really use the kitchen - only to make toast & tea in the mornings. This will be our apartment of choice when we come back again!
