Federico met us at the apartment and provided helpful information upon our arrival. The apartment is modern and functional. The apartment opens directly onto the street; however, this was not an issue because the street is not busy and the entrance is very secure. We were happy to be in such a nice neighborhood filled with locals. There are lots of local businesses, and the businesses get more unique as you walk down hill through the neighborhood toward central Barcelona. There is a good grocery within a block of the apartment, and Lesseps Station is only a couple of blocks away. We would stay here again!
