We had a fantastic time at the apartment: the location is unbeatable, very central (just in front of Sagrada Familia), close to all shops, restaurants and very well connected with other central parts of the city. The apartment is very clean, light and comfortable. It was recently renovated: everything is new and well-functioning. Just keep in mind that the place is on the second floor and there is no elevator. Not a problem for us, though. I was concerned that because of the central location, the place could be noisy: in fact, not at all, it is well isolated and it is very quiet even with windows open. Maria and Carmen were very helpful before and during out stay. I definitely recommend staying in the apartment - and hope to come back one day!
