The apartment is well located near the Sagrada Familia, near to a Metro stop and many grocery stores and restaurants. It was clean, recently refurbished and fully stocked including kitchen basics (coffee, tea, oil etc.), toiletries etc. There was lots of cupboard space so you can unpack and feel settled. We were not concerned with our personal safety in the neighbourhood, even at night. While traffic noise was surprising during the day, it was quiet at night. Agus made us very welcome with a very thorough brief, tour and restaurant info, directions, maps and even a lovely loaf of bread! Some guests may find the stairs to the apartment (almost 40) a bit daunting - there is no elevator/lift.
