This apartment is in a wonderful neighborhood (Gracia) outside the heavily touristed area but within short (10-15 minutes) walking distance of the Sagrada Familia. We walked absolutely everywhere in Barcelona, but for those who prefer public transportation, there is a bus stop across the street and a nearby subway. There is also a grocery directly across the street, a bakery below (and the apartment sometimes smells like fresh bread), and plenty of delicious restaurants nearby. The apartment is bigger than it looks in the photos, very clean, and had everything we needed. The only note for travelers who have trouble with stairs: This apartment is on the third floor, equivalent to the fifth floor in the United States. We did not find it to be a problem, but you do need to be physically able to carry your luggage up and down.
