The apartment is in the middle of city life, with supermarkets,cafes, banks etc on the doorstep. One minute from Poble Sec metro. Yet there is no noise once in the apartment, and a great view from the balcony. The apartment was bigger than we expected, with everything you could need - iron, hairdryer,wifi etc. Albert's lovely aunt is just next door for any help or advice. Ten minutes walk to catch the bus directly to the airport, running every 15 mins throughout the day. Would recommend!
