The apartment is in a very quiet area of the city. It was a 20 minute walk to el born neighborhood on a low traffic path. The metro is a 5 minute walk with the line that dropped us in the heart of everything.
Mercedes apartment is beautiful. We loved the fact that there were two bathrooms. The kitchen pantry was better stocked than all of the air bnbs we stayed at on our trip. The bedrooms are quiet and stay very dark. No street lights.
We dined at el raco de la villa a 2 minute walk around the corner and it was excellent.
One thing to note. There is no parking assigned so we had to drive around to find a garage. Better to not have a car as the public transportation is simple and cabs are not too expensive. From el born to the apt is about 7 euros.
We will be back!
