Compact, comfortable, and well-appointed apartment for me and my friend for our 6 day stay. Seemed like a typical neighborhood, so it was nice to experience the city in that way vs. in the more tourist areas. Barcelona is noisy, but the apartment was quiet when terrace doors were closed. A/C worked beautifully (thank you!). We could walk to many places--La Sagrada Familia, Gracia, many stores and restaurants--and take bus and metro all around the city. Kitchen had supplies so we could cook there, too. This was a good way to get to know the city and, again, experience it as if we lived there. Thank you!
