This apartment is close to the Barcelona Sants train station. If you exit the apartment, take a left and left again you will come upon a busy street with lots of shops and restaurants, including a nice coffee shop on the corner. There's a small grocery right under the apartment for essentials. The apartment was as described but without any welcoming touches. Our biggest complaint is the dishes. They were dirty when we arrived. We re-washed everything in the dishwasher but they still looked dirty. I suspect a new dishwasher is needed or perhaps higher quality detergent. The shower was great and the beds were comfortable. The fold-out couch was also quite comfortable. The terrace was nice in the morning shade. The only coffee option in the apartment is a leaky Moka pot so take advantage of that corner coffee shop.
