The apartment was lovely and spacious, and very clean. Great location - 2 minutes walk from a little supermarket, 8 minutes from a larger one, 1 minute to a pizza takeaway, a great place for coffee and breakfast pastries just across the road. 5 minutes walk to two different metro stops, and less than 15 minutes walk, past numerous shops, cafés and restaurants, to the Sagrada Familia. The area felt safe and we didn't see anything that gave us cause for concern, they say to be wary of pickpockets at the tourist spots and of course you need to take reasonable precautions as you would anywhere, but we had no trouble, loved the apartment and loved the area. Communication and service from Frédéric was great, couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommend this apartment.
