Marti has met us at the apartment as we agreed. The apartment was just like in the pictures. It had everything we needed, clean sheets and towels. The air conditioner was functioning well, which is great after a long summer day.

The neighbourhood was very nice. Av. de Gaudi is a pedestrian-only street and has a lot of little shops and restaurants. There's also a super-market within walking distance, just be mindful of hours, it's closed on Sunday. The apartment is very close to Sagrada Familia and Sant Pau hospital. I'd suggest taking metro if you need to get to Gothic quarter or anywhere beyond Diagonal.

The apartment overlooks inner courtyard and is very quiet.
