We had a great stay here. Just a few blocks from Sagrada Familia, good local restaurants, supermarket on the block. Elevator is "old school" cage style, but got my mom up and down. Apartment is one flight up. For using the Metro, walk straight on Carrer de la Mallorca, alongside Sagrada Familia, to find the elevator. The nearest station does NOT have an elevator or escalator, so plan accordingly if traveling with those who need it. For more authentic food, walk in directions not towards Sagrada Familia. We liked Tossa, Betlem and El Oso Goroso (Italian food) just on the next corner and open late. The second bedroom is small and the only window is onto an airshaft. That's how they built them back then. Apartment has AC but we just opened the windows for fresh air. Shower is a very slight step up, perfect for limited mobility. Cleaning woman who met us to check us in/out was lovely. Never saw Maria, but she was communicative. Took my mom to get her hair done on the corner!
