We would definitely recommend this apartment for a family travelling in Barcelona! The location was great - right on the metro line and very easily accessible to all the activities we were interested in; the neighbourhood was quiet, safe, and full of cool, interesting restaurants, bakeries and shops; and the apartment accommodated four of us (including two pre-teens) nicely. We arrived early and our host had no problem welcoming us early, and was very warm and informative. We would also recommend a couple places to eat close by: Origo bakery for bread and treats; Tomo Ya Street Food; and Rabipelao Gracia for delicious arepas. Made for a great stay in Barcelona!
