This is a modern comfortable apartment in a quiet but slightly odd area - it is quite industrial immediately around the flat, reminiscent of some New York neighbourhoods before they were transformed into hip residential areas. But only a few blocks away are a couple of lovely promenades with restaurants and shops, and the beach is walking distance. The transport links into Barcelona are good - both bus and metro, taking only about 15 mins. So if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of Barcelona, this is a good location. But if you want to step out of the apartment and be in the thick of Barcelona's arty vibe, then it's not. Be sure you really can cope with walking up 75+ steps to the apartment - it's a real struggle, especially with luggage.

Roger and his staff were very responsive and helpful and provided good information before arriving. There were nice touches like a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates.
