We were 3 couples traveling in Spain and stayed at the apartment. We had everything we needed. Nespresso coffee and a bottle of wine and snacks on our arrival just added to the charm of the trip. The neighborhood is very nice with many restaurants, cafes and a nice supermercat close. We didn't use the metro but it was easy to either walk or get taxis around the sites. We also purchased a ToT ticket to Monserrat which I would highly recommend. Gets you into see everything, except the Black Madonna - saved a lot of figuring things out.
