The apartment is in a great location, just a 12 minute stroll to Sagrada Familia and about a 25 minute walk to the beach in the other direction. The nearest metro station (Monumental) is only a 5 minute walk providing great links to the attractions further afield. There is also a great little bar called Gigi (by the Monumental metro station entrance) which serves great cocktails, tapas and a brunch menu. Ancry picked us up from the airport and we were able to store our luggage in the apartment as we had arrived on an early morning flight. There was a very welcome complimentary bottle of cava and some breakfast items provided in the apartment. There is a comfortable lounge area and the little balcony is a lovely bonus with lots of cushions and plants providing a lovely area to catch the morning and evening sun and relax with a glass of wine. Ancry also took us back to the airport and arrived spot on time to get us there in plenty of time for our flight home. Throughout our communications with her she was also extremely helpful and friendly. One or two of the reviews mentions noise within the apartment block. There is some noise but it was a small price to pay for such a lovely place to stay. I would thoroughly recommend the apartment and Ancry was a delightful host.
