The apartment was beautiful and the view of the Sagrada Familia was truly amazing. The decor and furniture were very nice. The balconies were perfect for sitting and enjoying the splendid view. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet, but close to a great market and walking distance to the Cathedral. The staff at the front desk was very helpful and spoke English fluently. The only suggestion for improvement would be to supply the kitchen with very basic spices, cooking oil, and other ingredients that could then be supplemented with local foodstuffs by the renter. Also, a list of local eateries and/or map to the local market would make finding it much easier.
