Loved our stay in Pilar's Barcelona apartment. Located in the more quiet Eixample neighborhood, was a quick walk to the metro to get you anywhere you want to go. Sagrada Familia is a 10 minute walk.
Pilar was always very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Plenty of bars, restaurants, pharmacies and groceries in the area for anything you need. Just downstairs a couple of doors down is a great bakery. The woman working inside was always very friendly and took the time to point out a couple of specialty items that were only available on certain days as we were there in the Lenten season.
Little to no street noise, however as with many apartment homes in Spain you can hear your neighbors above and below. I mention it not as a criticism, but just to make future tenants aware. With interior windows and tiled floors the buildings are not as soundproof as many from the states might be accustomed to. Thanks for a great stay!
