This is great apartment in a great neighborhood. Its has lots of natural light and we loved sitting on the balcony. The neighborhood is within walking distance of many of the tourist attractions in Barcelona but at the same time allows you to escape the tourists at the end of the day. There is a metro station down the street if you don't want to walk. Sandro provides a welcome packet with a list restaurant recommendations. We mostly ate at the local ones and they were spot on. I especially recommend the paella at Taverna El Glop and everything at La Pepita.
