Excellent location close to a metro stop that gets you pretty much everywhere. Easy walk to the Sagrada and the small convenience store across the street is wonderful. Walk further down Travaserra de Gracia for a wonderful neighborhood with small stores and restaurants. The apartment was as advertised but, as was noted by other reviewers, if you are a light sleeper you may find the apartment is difficult to adjust to. With earplugs it worked out. Oriol is an excellent host and happy to help you as needed and provides excellent advice for your visit/stay.
