We were three persons in the apartment with a lot of luggage, so a taxi was well worth it. We received the keys from the friendly concierge. The apartment is very clean, bright and big enough for 3 people. The area is well maintained and you have the opportunity to meet Barcelona and its inhabitants away from the tourist area. Of course you can go to city center there by metro, bus or also taxi (not expensive) to spend the day there. We recommend the apartment
