The good: 1. LOCATION: within walking distance to everything we wanted to accomplish - sagrada familia, casa batllo, the coast, and of course lots of good food and drink places, and “supermarcats” on every block. Only a block or so away from the aerobus stop, which is the easiest/cheapest way to and from the airport. 2. SIZE/SPACE: large for Europe, lots of space especially if you’re going to be hanging out in the flat. Also very secure and has a small elevator (in addition to stairs) to get to the flat.
The not so good: 1. Totally normal, but the floor is probably made of stone, so it’s really cold on the feet and the flat itself when we visited in November. And no heater. Just bring warm fuzzy socks :)
