Lovely apartment with a ridiculously stunning view. We didn't turn the TV on once, preferring to gaze at the Sagrada Familia from the comfort of the sofa. We were traveling with our two girls, aged 7 and 9, and it was invaluable to be able to roll out of bed and amble across the park in time for our 9am tour of this fabulous church. Since the metro was just around the corner, it was easy to get to any other part of town. We didn't scout out the local restaurants as they were either touristy-looking or fast food, but the tiny café two doors down was very handy.
All the amenities were great - extra blankets are useful, soft towels are great and I always appreciate not having to pack a hair dryer. The tiny and ancient elevator gave us a daily belly laugh as we played human Tetris to get ourselves into it and shut the door. It is certainly better than walking up the stairs after a long day of sightseeing. The elevator is pretty noisy, as are the nocturnal guys who hang out in the park, but you can't hear any of that in the bedrooms. The apartment is on the top floor so there's no noise from above, and the building is very quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
