Cristina was friendly and helpful when I was booking and took time to explain about the apartment and answer our questions when we arrived .The apartment is lovely with great views over Sagrada Familia and the square. It is in a building with lots of character .The apartment is on the second floor but there is a lift if you need it.The building is secure . The apartment is spacious and all the beds are comfortable . The apartment is very close to the metro station and there is a new metro link now from the city to the airport . It is easy to get around on foot and metro.There is a t 10 ticket for the metro which gives you 10 journeys in zone 1 and can be shared.We had a great stay .
