The apartment is smaller than appears in the photos. It also sits in the shade from the adjacent buildings so should you choose to share the narrow balcony with the two generators you can steal a slice of blue sky but not much else. Guests who wish for a simple hostel will be happy enough here but if you’d prefer sharply designed modern facilities perhaps look elsewhere as the apartment is basic. The place was clean and tidy on arrival but I think it wants a much needed facelift to bring it into shape for the traveler who wishes to stay in a contemporary and comfortable space. The street is right in the middle of this fashionable but slightly edgy district, seconds away from the pinchos of Blai and a 15 minute walk to the foot of the glorious Montjuïc hillsides which offer a wonderful retreat from the city’s buzzing, bustling day to day. You’ll sleep well too as the street is almost entirely residential and peaceful by the time you head toward bedtime.
