We stayed 8 nights at this apartment while visiting our son in Barcelona during his semester abroad. It is a terrific location with great views from its hillside purge of the city (including the Sagrada Familia) and the Mediterranean. The Metro Station is a five-minute walk down the hill (maybe 10 minutes up the hill!) A great coffee/pastry shop, a food market and a couple of small grocery stores are reached virtually next door to the apartment. The apartment also has a nice balcony. The front bedroom is a little bit noisy with the rush-hour cars and buses, but one quickly gets used to that. The other two bedrooms are very quiet. The kitchen is well-equipped, and Vanessa made sure that there were ample supplies of the basic necessities, including morning coffee!
