This is a wonderful apartment. The kitchen seemed well provisioned, although we had to buy s few things such as paper towels, Right next to local shops and across the street from the ATM, within easy walking distance to Segrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, Parc Quell and virtually all the other Gaudi sights. If not in to walking, then riendly cabs at your doorstep virtually around the clock. The streets seem very safe and no evidence of any unsafe or unsavory activity although we always took the usual precautions. About 20 minutes to the Beach. Would recommend Platja del la nova mar bella rather than the closer marina beach we went to on our first visit. Overall 5 star!
