This lovely apartment provides a great base from which to discover all of Barcelona. The metro is literally just steps from the building, providing easy access to any part of the city and all the most popular Barcelona attractions. But the quiet neighborhood was a welcome haven to return to, and I particularly enjoyed the approachability of the locals on the streets and in the nearby shops (especially the boulangerie, with its fresh breads and its friendly young guy behind the counter who explained to me the difference between salsa and cumba!). Plaça de Espanha is just up the boulevard and the location provides easy foot access to Montjuic and all its resplendent cultural, architectural, and botanical riches. Not to mention the excellent restaurants and watering holes right at your doorstep. We loved having the Sant Antoni market just blocks away and the Sunday book market was terrific.
Inside the airy apartment, we had everything we needed for comfort—cleanliness and all the amenities of home. My favorite was the espresso machine. I also loved watching the world from the small balcony. Just lovely!
