The property offered by Pilar and Lucas is clean, well-equipped (especially in the kitchen--it even has a washing machine for your travel-worn clothing), and well-located, with the nearest Metro stop only two blocks away. There are markets (e.g., Aldi's) and multiple restaurants (try the Avinguda Gaudi, just a few blocks uphill) within an easy walk and a great place for breakfast and coffee across the street. For those planning to visit La Sagrada Familia, the apartment is only a few blocks from that site, but with ready access to the Barcelona Metro system, there are few places of interest that cannot be easily reached from this property. There were some hiccups that made our check-in a bit fraught, but Pilar seems committed to good communication so hopefully our experience in that regard was an exception.
