We were welcomed by David, who was very accomodating and allowed us to drop off our luggage earlier, which was much appreciated. He also arranged to have a taxi (for six people!) pick-us up when we were leaving. That made our life a lot easier. Thanks David! The location was very good. All the services were close by, with a large grocery store just up the street, other little shops around and a nice piazza for tapas around the corner. From the apartment you can walk to Park Guell, and access the other sights easily with public transportation. You could also walk to the Sagrada Famillia in about 30 minutes. The apartment is exactly as described, very modern, well equipped, very quiet, and the AC was a godsend in July!. The terrace is a nice bonus, but because it was so hot we did not get to use it as much as we hoped. Having access to laundry was also very good. All in all, a great place to call home when in Barcelona.
