Neus and Elisenda's place is located within ca. 10-15 minutes walk from La Sagrada Familia. Elisenda met us upon arrival and showed us the place. For those concerned, please note that all the windows are facing a wall of a building, and thus one cannot see much daylight. This didn't bother us much, however. It seems like the weather varies little in Barcelona in August, and therefore we were not concerned. During the day, one can hear the neighbors pretty well (them watching TV, talking on the phone, etc.). However, as if by magic all noises disappear at night. Noone ever bothered us and we couldn't hear anyone. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor (there are two flight of stairs to go up either by foot or by the elevator), even though they call it the first or "primero" floor. The kitchen was quite narrow, so it was hard for two adults to properly fit in there. However, the rest of the rooms were of good size. All in all we had a good stay at the apartment. It was a good value for money and we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.
