The apartment is just as described. The fact that it is in the rear of the building is a real plus as the windows of the living and dining room face an open private plaza where families play with their children and dogs, but that generates very little noise, whereas one walks out the front of the building into the bustle of Barcelona. It is located within a nice walk of the Med, Rambla, Sagrada Familia, and the Gracia neighborhood, with a subway station close by. Alex was a very helpful host. We would stay here again.
