This is a lovely, comfortable and spacious apartment that's perfect for 2 friends looking for a convenient place from which to explore the city. The location is amazing! The metro station is practically on the doorstep, with good connections to metro lines that take you to all the main sites. Many of the sites (e.g. Las Ramblas) are also within easy walking distance. The neighbourhood was lively but always felt safe and felt very authentic rather than touristy. The best thing about the area is that there is an abundance of great tapas bars/restaurants/bars nearby! The only slight negative about our stay was that the water in the shower isn't consistently warm. But despite this, i would recommend this apartment very highly!
