The host provided excellent directions on how to get to the apartment building and how to enter it. The apartment faces a tri-intersection that includes 2 very busy, but tree-lined streets. The area was convenient for us to walk to everything we had planned (about 30 minute walks) and is just around the corner from La Sagrada Familia. We picnicked every evening on the balcony and enjoyed watching the buildings around the intersection come alive as people returned home. The balcony gets afternoon sun, so to keep the apartment cool, we closed the shades when we left in the morning. There was traffic noise with the sliders to the balcony open at night, but that was not unexpected given the location, which was clearly described. The neighborhood is safe and full of places to eat and markets.
