The location is outstanding. The apartment is on a cool, quiet street and is incredibly well positioned for exploring Barcelona on foot or using Barcelona's great public transportation system. Access to a pool is a huge bonus for kids. The best ice cream shop (Paral-lelo) is right across the street and if you need a break from tapas, there is some great ramen and curry on the street. The apartment is clean, comfortable and attractive. Lluis-Lali are gracious and attentive hosts.
