We were met by Marta's son who carried our luggage up to the apartment where Marta was waiting. The place was as described on Airbnb - big, bright, clean and welcoming. A home away from home.
The area has every amenity - coffee shops, pastry shops, restaurants, retail, supermarkets and convenience stores. The apt. is close to the subway and within walking distance of Casa Mila and Sagrada Familia. Marta left a lot of tourist information for us which helped in our daily planning.
We felt safe here.
