Alba's apartment was exactly as described and just what we needed for our trip. It was clean, bright and airy. It was a few short stops from Sants Estacio and it only took 15 - 20 minutes to get to the stops serving all the main attractions of the city. If you are out late, the night tube runs until 2am at weekends so was still no problem getting back. The neighbourhood itself was full of locals - try the market directly opposite! We only ran into Alba once when checking into the apartment and she was helpful and friendly. We were also grateful to be able to leave our bags at a nearby bar before we left Barcelona later in the day. Would recommend staying to anyone :) access to a terrace also a nice touch! Gracias Alba
