This apartment represents a great value for experiencing Barcelonaike a local. The kitchen allows a family to keep costs low by cooking meals in the apartment. The central location is convenient to several Metro lines, as we traveled daily on the L3 line. The furnishings are very basic so no luxury sofas or wide TV channel selections, but the essentials are there and the Wi-Fi is reliable. Carles ensured that an English-speaking friend was available to let us into the apartment and that we could contact her (Marta) if we had questions during our stay. Because the apartment is located at an intersection, ylstreet noise is part of the local experience.
