Our host made us feel very welcome and had provided various teas, coffees and milk on arrival. The apartment was very clean and modern with a lovely terrace which we really appreciated for an early evening drink. Within walking distance of the Park Guell for some of Gaudi's architecture and a local fruit and veg market. There is also a small supermarket very close and access to excellent taxis. It felt like a very safe neighbourhood as did all the city we visited. A great base for tourists.
