For my first trip out to Europe I must say Alberts place is amazing, 5 minutes walking distance to Sagrada Familia, train, & tourist bus if interested. Upon checkin Albert had someone in the apartment to meet us and show us around the apartment. He gave us a map of Barcelona, bus and train maps in case we were interested. You can walk to Sagrada Familia and catch a train that takes about 10 minutes to get to the city centre which was very very convenient. Also if you like to walk or ride a bike instead of taking the train that is possible from this location. I would book this place again in the near near future. There is also a very very good bakery on the corner right by the apartment and a store literally next door for water, fruits, etc.
