If you’re planning to visit Barcelona with your family, I highly recommend Marcos’s place. This is a very safe and secure place to stay in; the neighbourhood is peaceful at night. The place does have a lift, albeit a very small one (a maximum of two people can be in the lift at once; or if you have your luggages too, then only one person can fit inside). As for amenities, well what more can I say? You have a Superverde market across the street, you have a Dia supermarket adjacent to the apartment, and numerous bakeries in the neighbourhood; it is a 2-5 minute walk from the nearest subway station/bus stop, which adds to the convenience. During our stay, Marcos was extremely responsive and even gave his restaurant recommendations to us! If you have any questions, he is very responsive to them. My family enjoyed our stay at Marcos’s place!
