This apartment was gorgeous, better than the photos, very spacious and fantastic for 7 of us. It is extremely close to Sagrada Familia, the metro station is just around the corner and only 2 stops to plaza Catalunya. We had 3 kids with us so it was really nice not being in the crowded tourist area and there were some great supermarkets, fantastic restaurants, patisseries and the best churros we had in Spain all very close to the apartment. One of the highlights was getting back at the end of the day and having sangria and potato Bravis from the little tapas bar right next door - perfect!
I would most definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a bit more space and for families. We loved it, thank you to Alex for all your help.
