As pictured this a clean, spacious, well maintained apartment. Sofia is a kind, friendly host who was welcoming and provided me with breakfast and advice on places to visit. The immediate area surrounding is not particularly attractive (it is near a fairly busy road) but it is only a 5 minute walk to Park Guell and is well positioned for two different metro's taking you quickly into the city. It is short a walk to the bars and restaurants around Gracia. I enjoyed my stay in Barcelona with Sofia.
