The location is great, we felt totally safe at all hours and we could walk to many destinations. The apartment is not that big and the only communal space is the large table in the kitchen. The three small bathrooms made getting ready so much easier in the morning among two families of seven people. The laundry facilities are locked up and the owner must be contacted before using them. There is a great restaurant almost next door but make a reservation before you go because it gets booked very quickly - Viana Barcelona.
