The apartment is a five-minute walk from the metro in a lovely quiet street and away from the centre, which we wanted. The sixty stairs were not a problem for us, though you need to bear in mind. The cleaner let us in and gave us the keys. It is a bright and very attractive apartment, well equipped kitchen, spacious, comfortable beds, and with the aircon just outside the room, not too noisy at night. Blinds also kept the place cool for our August stay. There are good supermarkets nearby. We recommend a restaurant called A Veiga, just around the corner on Carrer Sardenya, which serves excellent Catalan food and is very good value. David responded quickly to our requests for information about local facilities and was very understanding when our carelessness resulted in him having to call out a repairer! All in all a very good experience.
