I've stayed in Barcelona three times in four years and I really like ths neighborhood. It isn't in the thick of the tourist areas but that is good, in my opinion. There are good bakeries, restuarants and markets near the appartment. And it is close to several Metro stations and multiple Metro lines. The apartment was clean and well kepted. It was nice that there was a fan that we used to blow the air conditioned air up into the loft bedroom. My 24 year old son slept on the sofa bed and he had no complaints. The only issue we had was the check-in process. We commincated clearly about our arrival time. Natalia notified us that her colleague with the key was running 5 minutes late. Then she said her colleague was 12 minutes late. The person with the key finally showed up 45 minutes late and was not aware that she was late. Oh well. I would still recommend this property.
