Although not right down town, the location is close to many metro stations which actually makes getting anywhere very easy and relatively quick. Pleasant neighborhood for finding side street eateries. The park out front provides a nice open area. Elevator make moving luggage easy. The apartment is spacious even though not newly updated. Shower is in the bath and not a separate unit. Andreu is very helpful and provided good tips for getting about. Parking is in a separate building a couple of minute walk across the park.
