Xavi greeted us and was very helpful in pointing out the choice of local supermarkets. The apartments has 2 good sized bedrooms, the front one with French doors gets quite a lot of traffic noise but the back one is quiet.The bathroom is very modern and a good size and the kitchen is fine to cook a simple meal in, which is quite nice to do sometimes, after a long day walking and sightseeing!
We appreciated Daria emailing and letting us know about the building work nearby, during the day, but this was definitely not an issue and didn't disturb us.
We had a week in Barcelona and our son and his girlfriend joined us for a few days. We enjoyed getting back to ' our neighbourhood' at the end of a long day being tourists and resting up at the apartment.
It is special to be just around the corner from La Sagrada Familia and well worth doing the full tour which includes going up one of the towers. It's very busy around the cathedral during the day but we popped around there a couple of times in the evenings and had it all to ourselves - Special!
