At Vanessa place we had a very pleasant stay. The balcony view is amazing and even it might seem a bit far from downtown, you have L4 Metro station at 5 minutes walking and the bus D40 right in front of the building. I liked the neighborhood a lot, because it’s a quiet area where you can relax in an effervescent city.
Vanessa is really a good host and she will try to make your stay as good as possible.
Definitely would want to rent the apartment again, if I return to Barcelona.
