Although it is just outside of the main tourist area, this very clean and comfortable apartment is right next to a Metro station that provides easy and direct access to all of Barcelona's key sites and to the airport. The street out front leads directly to Placa de Espanya via an approximately 1/2 hour walk through a very good local shopping district. The host Jordi met us in person and was very kind and provided great customer service. The apartment itself is in a good building, roomy, very clean, comfortable and has two wonderful terraces that provide nice views of the neighbourhood. Overall we had a great experience staying at this apartment.
