The location is close to transportation, groceries, restaurants, bars, Sagrada Familia, and other shopping options. It is a quiet place facing away from the street and overlooks a few apartments & patios, but it is not an issue as it is a nice residential area. We enjoyed hearing the neighbors chatting as we hung our laundry to dry. The apartment has AC which is appreciated on a warm day. There is no elevator and is on the 2nd floor (4 flights of stairs) if you have issues with mobility or carting heavy luggage. The building is secure & clean. The apartment is as the pictures show - very open and bright and clean. Pepo was very good at communicating before we arrived, and was quite prompt as responding during our stay despite traveling & having issues with no working phone. We would happily stay here again and will recommend the apartment to others!
