This is a beautiful apartment! in a great, lively, safe Barcelona neighborhood within 1 block of the metro, and easy walking distance to the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, as well as many delightful neighborhood restaurants, tapas bars, bakeries and grocery stores. Alessandro, the host, was very prompt and friendly with his responses to any questions we had before and during out stay. We felt immediately at home after Alessandro's very warm and informative welcome! Staying here was like living the true Barcelona life, not like being a tourist at all, and it was delightful! The location was perfect, and we all felt very safe walking around, even late in the evening). The restaurant list Alessandro gave us was wonderful. We had a lovely dinner at El Glop, where we enjoyed the atmosphere as much as the food! The corner shop selling empanadas was a huge hit with the family, as was the bakery on the corner opposite the apartment. The apartment was quiet, clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the little things that were provided upon our arrival. We truly enjoyed our stay, and if we ever return to Barcelona, we would be thrilled to stay again. We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Barcelona who wants to enjoy and taste the real Barcelona!
