Very convenient location with the metro a few steps away and many places to buy food. Apartment had plenty of room and we did not need to buy any extra paper or cleaning products. Neighborhood had way too many barking dogs that carried on from about 8pm to midnight all three nights. I would call it a lively corner of the Eixample district. Ear plugs came in handy. Manuel was excellent and attentive with a lot of helpful information.
