The place was great but the flat we stayed in (I think they own a few of them) faced the interior of the block to a school yard. Expect some noise if you plan to get up late or spend some quiet time during the afternoon in the flat during school time. Apart from that, the flat is very well located, very quiet and the communication with the hosts very easy and fluent. 5 minutes walking from Sagrada Familia. 5 minutes walking from 3 different metro stations (Girona, Sagrada Familia and Monumental). On the other side of the block, if you enjoy meat, there is an excellent Argentinian restaurant (Parrilla Alfonsina). There is a chemist in the corner and several supermarkets around.
