Extremely close to La Blia, having tons of Tapas and Pincho places to eat, absolutely wonderful.
Close to the metro. Plenty of fruit stores, a supermarket, and bakeries abound.
Recommend the hop-on hop-off bus to see the city and use it as your primary transportation to see the sights.
We never found the coffee pot but everything else is as described, air-conditioning was much appreciated, the apartment is big with shades allowing for excellent sleep. Tv and Netflix are a nice touch.
The area is smelly and street smells permeate the complex, this is not really a knock on the apartment but more on the location. If you are looking for a more fragrant experience look elsewhere.
Just to clarify here, the location is the greatest strength but also the greatest detractor of this property, although we enjoyed our stay and the value provided we would probably stay elsewhere when visiting Barcelona.
