We stayed at Marcos' lovely apartment for a long weekend in Barcelona. The area is great - very residential with supermarkets, cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. It felt very safe and was quiet enough to sleep very well. It is a 5 minute walk to Joanic metro and maybe 10 minutes at most to Sagrada Familia. The apartment was very clean and stylish and had everything we needed for a great stay. We would definitely stay here again if it is available next time we come to Barcelona. Highly recommended
