This is a superb location is you need access to the major train station, Sants. It was perfect for our arrival in Barcelona for 3 days, then train to Córdoba as the apartment is directly across the street from the train station. It is very easy to get to all the major tourist attractions on the metro from this train station (Sants Estacio). The apartment overlooks a lovely water park and fountain. There are lots of interesting activities and sports on at the park in the evening. There's a small supermarket directly opposite for essential food supplies, including wine and beer. There's great Taberna a few steps from the apartment for breakfast in the morning and Pinchos in the evening. The apartment is basic but well equipped, spacious and clean. Communication with the host was easy. It is a safe neighborhood. I would highly recommend this apartment.
