This is a very good location for visiting the top sites in Barcelona. The apartment has all that you need and the host is very attentive and helpful. We loved sitting out on the deck and soaking up the sun during the afternoon. Subway and bus stops and markets all very convenient. Do bring some earplugs if you have trouble with nighttime noise, as the apartment is on a busy corner, with noise from the road below. We felt like we were just staying in a neighborhood and felt very safe. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had what we needed to make breakfast before heading out for the day. We loved the place for our marathon weekend!
