My husband and I were so pleased with our stay at Francesco's apartment. We remarked over and over again how fortunate we were to have found it for our week in Barcelona. We brought our daughters who are 4 and 2, as well as a babysitter. All five of us were comfortable and happy. The location is amazing. Very close to the subway which is only a few stops from major site seeing. There are also tons of cafes and tapas bars located a street away on Carrera del Blais. Somehow we lucked out on a little child fair with a merry-go-round, bouncy castle, trampolines and mini rollercoaster during out entire stay a stones throw away. Despite all the bustling activity of our neighborhood, the apartment was very quiet because it faces the interior corridor. We had very peaceful nights of sleep. If we ever return to Barcelona, I would definitely stay here again.
