The apartment is in a good location near to Glòries and the Sagrada. It is easy to get the Metro from Encants. We walked a lot from the apartment to the beach or into town but these are longer walks. There are lots of handy shops nearby such as Lidl or Aldi.
The flat is comfortable with enough room for the 6 of us (all adults). It was a great base to explore the city.
Barcelona is a great city with loads to do.
