This place is all about location, location, location. Literally a block away from the Sagrada Familia, it's really the most convenient place to be. We walked all over the place. There was also easy access to bus and metro and taxi service. The apartment has everything you need for basic cooking and several grocery stores very nearby. There is some street noise but blackout shades make a big difference. The stairs up to the apartment (no elevator) can be a challenge at the end of a long day of sightseeing, but still, this apartment was a great value and we would stay here again.
