The apartment is next to many tapas and pintxo restaurants, which made it very easy to grab a quick breakfast or dinner before heading out. The proximity to the Plaça d'Espanya was very helpful, as it made it easy to get to Montserrat via train. The ceilings are very thin and the upstairs neighbors have a young child and baby, so if you're a light sleeper, make sure to bring earplugs. The nearby Avinguda del Paral·lel is convenient, but hailing taxis was very difficult. I would recommend downloading MyTaxi or Uber (if available) to get around.
