Patricia patiently waited for us as we were a bit confused on how to get to the apartment. When we got there, she had cookies waiting for my kids and cava for the grown-ups. Such a thoughtful thing to do! She gave us a lot of information, clear and organized. The apartment is clean, and its very thoughtfully designed--from cubicles to put your shoes after a long day of walking, to basics in the kitchen like oil and salt--its really the little things that make a stay so much easier. We had plenty of towels, and the beddings were comfortable. The apartment is in the city center so expect it to be busy but the room darkening shades also filtered the outside noise, and kept us sleeping in well into the morning. The location is the best. Although it's only a few blocks from Sagrada Familia, the neighborhood is decidedly local. There are several markets you can go to get anything from milk to cheese (one just on the corner). There's a fruit stand across the street (try their olives, they're super yummy), and well-reviewed restaurants that we walked to. There's also a bakery with really good bread just a hundred​ meters away (close to the metro). We typically didn't finish dinner until 11pm, and always felt safe walking in the neighborhood. The metro is also very close so that was very convenient in getting everytwhere.
