This apartment was the under-performer on our tour; lots of potential and an almost equal amount of neglect. It has been refurbished and could be a star if not for the glaring neglect: defective bulbs, leaking taps, skewed portraits, terrible curtains and a general sense of uncleanliness. On the positive side: the location is good (a few minute's walk to the Sagrada Familia, good restaurants and the metro), the host speaks good English and she was most helpful when one of us needed a doctor.
