So happy we picked Natalia’s apartment for our nearly weeklong stay in Barcelona. It was a quick walk to the essentials — for me that means a good supermarket, quality restaurants, the Metro, and a public space (Plaça d’Espanya). What a great safe and central neighbourhood — it really has an energy. And when we felt like staying in, the terrace was a fabulous place to enjoy wine and food we prepped in the nice kitchen. We appreciated the elevator after long days on foot and slept well in both bedrooms.
