A great location but from inside you wouldn't know you were in the heart of Barcelona. I stayed with my 2 adult children and the apartment provided enough flexibility to accommodate us all easily. 2 French doors on to the street was a bonus for watching the world go by. The apartment was lovely and light and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 20 mins on the bus to the beach and tourist attractions nearby. We followed the excellent tips Agus gave us for exploring and we managed to pack in plenty in our 3 days.
