We spent a week here and it was just wonderful. GREAT location on a quiet street; the Sagrada Familia Metro station is a 3-minute walk away, so getting around town was very easy and convenient. The neighborhood also has grocery stores, restaurants, cafes and an excellent sandwich place right across the street. Anna and Vince's friend Frédéric checked us in and gave us a tour of the apartment, as well as helpful tips about Barcelona in general. He was easy to reach on WhatsApp in case anything came up, which it didn't. The apartment was very clean, had a nicely appointed kitchen, excellent wifi and an amazing view from the balcony. We found that lowering the shutters when we were out during the day helped keep out the summer heat. The antique elevator is pretty cool and yes, we were careful to be very quiet when opening and closing the doors. (No problems to report!) This is a quiet residential building; not an appropriate place for a bachelor party or other nonsense. We saw a few neighbors in the hall and elevator and they were very lovely. We had a beautiful, relaxing week here and hated to leave. Thank you for everything! Highly, highly recommended!
