The apartment is located about 3min from Collblanc metro station. It is not quite in the center of things but the metro can get you to the center in a jiff. The neighborhood is simple, nice and made up mainly of locals. I did not hear from the host until the day of check-in, which made me a bit nervous. Otherwise, the hosts were nice and accommodating. If you choose this apartment, be sure to stop by the restaurant nearby on the same street as the apartment for some good food and great coffee. I would recommend this apartment!!!
