Can't beat the location! We enjoyed dinner nearby most nights with a view of the Sangrada Familia. The air conditioning cooled the majority of the apartment well, with the bedroom doors open, and there were additional fans for those who needed them. Having two bathrooms was required of our party and they were both in good condition. The beach and other popular neighborhoods are about a 20 minute taxi ride (8-11 euros each way). We were able to catch rides on the street next to the apartment.
