The flat is clean and located conveniently beside the subway station. It requires an able body to climb the five flights of stairs--there is no elevator. The area is also very hilly. It takes about 25 minutes by subway to get to the centre of Barcelona, but the advantage of the distance is a quiet neighbourhood well away from the night life districts. There is a Mercadona supermarket a block away. I would stay here again and would happily recommend to friends and family.
