Prior to the arrival I received some excellent directions as well as a informational package with maps/attractions/restaurants and tips on the local area around the apartment. Upon our arrival Enric greeted us warmly and helped us settle in to the apartment as well as the neighborhood. Enric was very flexible with regards to arrival and departure times which was a great help! We found that the small apartment lived completely up to our expectations: It was nice, clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and was indeed close to La Sagrada Familia as well as Park Guell and the Hospital de Sant Pau (which I warmly recommend seeing). There is easy access to the metro and the line takes you straight to the golden quarter, the city center, or the beach. Only drawback to the apartment was the warmth as we had to sleep with the balcony-doors in the bedroom closed due to street-noise. The stand-alone AC unit was a little too noisy (entirely personal preference) and we ended up having to resort to the fan at full speed to get some sleep. Please do note that this was during a heatwave in July, so at other times I think the apartment will be just fine. I can only recommend staying at this apartment if you are looking to go to Barcelona, and Dolors & Enric are excellent hosts!
