Gloria's apartment is excellent in every possible way and we couldn't have wished for a better place to stay in Barcelona. It is ideally located extremely close to the main railway station, Sants (which also serves as a metro hub), so it's great when you arrive from the airport, but even closer to Entença metro station, which is very convenient for all your trips towards the other parts of the city. The neighbourhood is very pleasant and quiet, with a tree-lined, wide pedestrian strip right down the centre of the boulevard the apartment is facing. It is clearly very "local", with very few tourists in sight. As mentioned by the previous guests, there is a Bonpreu supermarket right across the street, as well as a pharmacy and a bakery either side of the building entrance. For more choice, there are at least 3 other supermarkets, plus a few extra fruits & vegetables shops or mini-markets within a 3-4min. walk radius, so you will be spoilt for choice. The flat itself is very well presented, I think the photos in the description are quite accurate and do a very good job in helping you visualise the layout of the apartment. The kitchen is actually not as small as you may think and it's fully-equipped, with vast amounts of storage space as well, located in the wall behind the kitchen countertop. The main hall leads to the dining and living rooms (open space, but you can easily separate them by closing the doors, should you need to do so). The main attraction of the flat is the balcony, perfect for early or late morning breakfasts and evening/late-night drinks alike (while you take in the nice views of the neighbourhood and glimpse some of Barcelona's other "barrios" a bit further away). It's a bit bigger than expected and it can easily accommodate 5 adults gathered around the table, so it's perfect for a bit of relaxation and a few glasses of wine at the end of a long and exhausting day of sightseeing. The rooms are pretty much what you see in the pictures. They're not very large, but they're just about what you need for 2 people (the twin or double bedroom); the single bedroom is actually a bit more spacious than expected - we were afraid that it would literally be just the bed crammed between 3 walls and with just enough room to close the door, but it's actually ok in size and it has the biggest storage space (wardrobe) in the entire apartment. Personally, I felt that the 3-4 drawers in the double bedroom were more than enough for a week's worth of clothes, but others may feel that more storage space is needed (I believe that this is something that the apartment owners are working on). One of the two bathrooms is fairly small, with a shower cubicle and enough space for a toilet and a sink and it is located on the hallway that connects the entrance...
