This was a great little "home away from home" in Barcelona. It has everything you need, including a 2-burner stove, microwave and Nespresso machine (for which Mireya kindly left us a bag of coffee pods). There's also a washing machine. The apartment is close to the Metro stops at Mercat Nou and Placa de Sants. With a T-10 ticket you can easily get around the city, using the Metro (plus the R2-Nord train to El Prat airport), for just under $1 per journey. We found the metro to be both super-convenient, fast, efficient and safe. Mireya has a map showing the location of a great little bakery just 2 blocks away and Mercat Nou, also only 2 blocks away, offers all kinds of delectable goodies. The only drawback is that the apartment is on the ground floor and it can be noisy late at night (i.e., early in the morning) with young people making a lot of noise as they walk down the street.
