This apartment was exactly as pictured... It was a very nice apartment in a nice area. Very close to Joanic train station, about a 3 min walk. Also a 13 min walk to the Sagrada Familia, which is in a beautiful area. The host gave us a map of Barcelona as well as the bus and metro map too, which was very helpful. The area was very quite aside from some kids during the day if you happen to be in the apartment but not a problem at all. We were a group of 3 friends and were very comfortable with the amount of space. I would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Barcelona.
