Lijie was wonderful before the trip even started. She provided me with directions, which included pictures to assist with the written directions. The apartment was as pictured. It was a very short walk to three different train/metro stations. Sants Estacio, Barcelona Sants, and Plaza de .... something with a C. So you can easily get anywhere. You can even get to the apartment directly on the R2N from the airport (shuttle from terminal 1 to t2 if you are international; then get on the R2 three stops and you are at Barcelona Sants. The T10 tickets work for this trip, and make the rest of your travels easy!). There are corner markets at each end of the street, and three grocery stores within a block. It was perfect. My luggage missed my flight and Lijie was very helpful keeping an eye out for the delivery the next day while I was at my conference. Overall would highly recommend and would stay again.
