The place is in a great location. It is within 5 min walking distance to the monumental metro station and less than 10 mins to Sagrada Familia. The terrace is very large and is a nice place to relax outside without having to leave the apartment. It is the best part of the apartment.
There is a small grocery store and pharmacy around the corner from the apartment. There is a larger grocery store about 6mins walking distance.
You could hear the neighbors and sometimes dogs barking through the interior windows although not uncommon in other European apartments I have stayed in.
The host was very responsive and the host was very friendly. I would stay here again and recommend to friends.
