A wonderful apartment in the heart of Barcelona, close to the beautiful Sagrada Familia and La avenida de Gaudí. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including SuperCor and Carrefour supermarkets for essentials! The metro is a five minute walk and is convenient for getting into the centre of town.
The apartment itself is very nicely decorated and has a modern yet cosy feel. There are plenty of useful facilities such as cooking equipment, fridge-freezer, cooker. There's a smart TV with local stations (which mainly seemed to be showing CSI: Las Vegas), as well as a washing machine and great shower facilities.
We were welcomed on arrival by a friend of Eli & Agus - Noa, who was very helpful in introducing us to the city - marking off places on a map for us to check out and answering all of our questions. She also brought us a loaf of bread!
The area was nice, there's a fair amount of traffic, but it's the middle of the city, so it's to be expected, and unless you're a very light sleeper, it won't be a problem. A taxi from the airport came to around €25.
I would definitely recommend the apartment and would happily stay there again.
