The apartment was in a quiet complex mainly surrounded by friendly locals. Views from the balcony were nice, family friendly and peaceful. No crime or any problems in the area. Location is excellent, 2 minute walk from the Metro and Metro couldn't be easier to use. Communication with the host was excellent and apartment exactly as expected. Lots of places to sample Catalonian food and a short walk off the beaten track will bring prices down by aroud 30% and less tourists.
