Brilliant location in a wonderful, safe and family oriented neighbourhood. Enough bars and restaurants to keep younger travellers entertained, but without any of the concerns of the La Rambla area, especially at night. We walked home from the English speaking cinema there, after midnight and without a problem. The metro is a few minutes away and had us to La Rambla or the beach, within minutes. All of the other tourist spots were in walking distance. We had a lovely 10 days in the apartment with our 13 year old son and would go there again in a heartbeat.
