It’s very cool being by the Sagrada Família. The neighborhood is less hip than those closer to el Born but getting to step out and have the basilica as the beautiful backdrop is wonderful. We enjoyed that the neighborhood was less of a night scene (and quiet at night) and found restaurants (some suggested by Pepo) that we probably wouldn’t have ventured to if we hadn’t stayed here. We walked almost everywhere—almost nowhere is more than a 30 min walk and we loved getting to know the layout of the city streets. The apartment is clean and comfortable. We really didn’t end up spending much time there or using the kitchen because we would be out all day and evening but the kitchen seemed stocked for cooking if you want to do that. The description/warning about the stairs is real—the apartment is on the 2nd floor, but there are two floors below the first floor, so it’s really 4 flights (62 steps) so keep that in mind if you have bad knees or other mobility constraints. Definitely recommend this place for future visitors!
