Ana’s apartment is just as advertised: large, bright and airy, and located in a quiet residential neighbourhood with plenty of grocery stores, just up the hill from la Sagrada Familia and equally close to the Hospital de Sant Pau (not to be missed). There were convenient buses a block away and two metro stops ten minutes away. We made good use of the lovely terrace, and it was great having a washing machine and decent-sized kitchen at our disposal. We especially appreciated the early check in which Ana arranged.
