The apartment belongs to a rental agency not an individual (which doesn’t make it better or worse, just a comment). Our agent Juliette was very nice, knowledgeable and punctual and was able to resolve an issue we had in a fast way, we really appreciate it!
The apartment itself is located in an authentic area, just about 7 minutes away from central streets, Diagonal and Gràcia, with all the transportation and tourist buses. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and grocery shops around.
We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona!
