We spent 4 weeks in this lovely apartment in January & we couldnt have chosen better. Well located, comfortable, clean, nicely decorated and Xavier was very helpful and easy to reach if necessary. The kitchen had all we needed, the rooms were spacious, plenty of storage, comfy bed, great bathroom with fab shower & all very modern, bright & characterful. There's a good supermarket few doors away but the fresh veg,fruit,fish,meat market up the road is wonderful. Plenty of bars (La Bruja is quite quirky), cafe's,tapas, restaurants.It's easy to reach most sights & museums. There's a small sports centre 2min walk away with a gym, swimming pool, classes, sauna,jacuzzi & steam room which is cheap & handy (a little tired in places but good). We always felt safe in the area & street cleaners appear regularly. We liked looking out across the road to see trees & some interesting older traditional type buildings. Hiring bikes are easy (Rabbit bike shop convenient & good tapas along there too) & it's a great way to get around especially to see barceloneta. Ronda Sant Pau is fairly busy but considering it's a city, it's generally quiet at night. We would definitely return to this apartment & highly recommend it, good value & lovely host.
