The apartment is beautiful, and very conviniently located. It is right next to the san antoni market. we had read about some ongoing construction of the market but the market is now up and running and has amazing food options. The apartment is also close enough to all key locations and we were able to walk to all places of interest. there is a metro station as well at a 2 min walk, but we only used it for sagrada familia as we were in a rush. there is nice breakfast place and a bakery right outside the apartment. This was a godsent as barcelona is not big on breakfast. The area was lively enough during the day but was quiet at night, which we liked as we could get some rest. Speaking of rest, the bed and mattress at the apartment were amazing. Mar had provided a nice booklet about the area and her suggestions were really helpful. We loved our stay at the apartment.
