The location is amazing if you want to stay away from tourist crowds and still be in the vibrant neighborhood, close to metro and bus stops, and only a couple of blocks away from Sagrada Familia! Very easy public transportation access everywhere. There are a number of restaurants and bars around, from those frequented mostly by locals, to more touristy ones, several supermarkets. The apartment is clean and spacious. Note, basic essentials such as shower gel and all kitchen staples such as salt and oil are not included (when we asked, we were told they are not providing it). The company managing the apartment responded fast to all our questions, they were great. Would stay there again.
