Fantastic location in a quiet but thriving neighborhood. We walked everywhere and always felt safe. Cross the street and the beach is 3 minutes away through a park. One block over and you find a pedestrian mall of shops and restaurants, plenty of great places to eat (and get a gelato for the walk back). There are 2 larger malls about 20mins away walking if shopping is your thing, and full-size grocery story is just around the corner. If you're wanting to explore more of the city, there is easy access to the bus routes, or the concierge is happy to call you a cab (no Ubers/Lyfts in Barcelona, but the cabs were fine). Bed was comfy, place was clean, and the combo washer/dryer was essential. Would recommend and return. Have fun, we did.
