This is a great apartment for families in a fantastic area with restaurants and cafes from around the world as well as local shops and tapas. It's a very family friendly area with kids playing football and riding bikes in the square 1 minute from the apartment and several other squares with play equipment (for small children) within 5 minutes. Everything you could need is nearby.
It's a lively area but the bedrooms are in the middle of the apartment so very quiet. Metro and buses are nearby.
The apartment is very well equipped for under 5s with toys, books, DVDs, high chair and baby bath. There is even a stick blender if you are weaning.
If you are travelling with a buggy we found the buses much more buggy friendly than the metro, and easy to use and navigate! Our kids loved the beach, aquarium and CosmoCaixa.
