The apartment was great with a fantastic roof terrace which was the main reason for choosing this one. It looked right over the Sant Antoni market which is a beautiful building being refurbished. The apartment was clean and with air conditioning, a lift to the top floor which was essential with a heavy suitcase.
We walked almost everywhere from there, but the metro was only 2 mins away. There are some really nice restaurants very close to the apartment, and quirky bars, which meant we never had to venture far in the evening. I think this area is going to get even more popular due to the market refurbishment as it could be a good pull for the locals and tourists. The area had a really good vibe about it.
We used the local supermarket 'Dia' as it was one street away, also a great organic market over the road. There is so much to explore from here so I would recommend it to anyone. There were just two of us, we barely set foot inside as the weather was so great we sat outside on the terrace most evenings before going out.
We were here on St Joans Day (June 23rd) which meant lots of celebrations and great fireworks displays viewable from the roof! And book the Sagrada Familia before you come .
