This was a great apartment for a couple. We enjoyed the apartment and its location very much. We'll try to stay there again next year. The Eixample community is away from the main crowds of tourists but exciting in its own right. Mariana Cruz's suggestions were valuable for getting started. Just around our apartment there were several great places to eat. For breakfast there are Cafe Cosmo and La Pastisseria. Great dinner at Etapes. An icecream place one block away. Convenient shopping at Bonpreu. The AC was essential during the heat wave. The apartment was cleaned once a week.
