This flat was terrific for my stay, and Marta is excellent at responding to any questions or concerns. The outside area did look a bit different - you can't see it in the pictures, but you actually have to climb through a window to access it. So if you're a bit older and/or not very limber, you probably won't use the outside area very much. The view of Sagreda Familia was great though, and the location will get you anywhere you need to go. However, beware the summer months - if you are used to air conditioning (air con), this place only has a few fans, and it will be pretty warm. I am from the States and am used to having AC everywhere, so this was an adjustment for me, since I visited in August and it was quite hot. The flat size is great and it's really stocked with everything you need. If you are traveling lightly, this is a great spot, because this place will have towels, toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, coffee, etc. It also has a washer, which is terrific!! All in all a great listing.
