Great apartment with truly amazing views of Sagrada Familia. Even better than the pictures. We felt incredibly lucky to wake up to dawn sunlight on the facade, watching the lights go on and construction workers arrive.
We stayed for 3 weeks with two little kids, and it was a perfect location -- a playground below our window, a great neighborhood, convenient metro access, and the view is so amazing that we almost felt reluctant to leave the apartment!
We loved watching the cathedral construction and the bocce games in the park below.
The apartment is a nice size and very quiet! The kitchen is well equipped, the shower is very nice, and everything is clean and new.
There is a greengrocer across the street, a very nice grocery store on Valencia (2 blocks downhill, turn left & go to the next intersection), and a whole bunch of restaurants on the street that comes into the church on a diagonal. (We liked the bakery and the creperie; there is also a market on Sundays with honey and cheesecakes and chocolate bars.)
We will definitely be back!
