We had a great time in this apartment whilst visiting our son who is living in Barcelona in this lively, friendly neighbourhood. The hosts are a company who have several apartments for rent, and were very efficient and responsive to our inquiries. They very kindly let us leave our luggage at the apartment as we had a late flight, which we really appreciated. It is very well equipped, with good communal areas and a balcony with great views of the neighbourhood. The double room was spacious, with loads of storage. The two single rooms were smaller with only internal windows, but also well equipped. The bathroom was excellent, and the shower powerful. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and a good, large fridge. The location is great- walking distance of Sagrada Famillia but lots of local families living there too. You have streets with restaurants and shops on either side, all good value. We got there easily from the airport by a RENFE train which takes half an hour, then a 15 min walk. We'd really recommend it as a place to stay in Barcelona if you don't want the busy-ness of the Gothic Quarter. Thanks!
