Location was amazing, with plenty of shops and restaurants close by, just a few minutes from two metro stations, and walking distance to Sagrada Familia. At the same time – very quiet especially considering the central location – very little street noise. While the flat is several floors up, there is an elevator (small (max 2 people) but useful for moving luggage for sure). Apartment is a good size, and while not fancy, it was clean, practical, and well equipped. Definitely recommend as a good base for exploring Barcelona!
