We enjoyed the little kitchen and proximity to the Sagrada Família. Though not as brightly lit as we thought from the pictures, the apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable. Location doesn’t have a lot of nightlife right outside, so might need to metro if you plan to stay out late. One note: if you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke, the neighbor in the apartment across the hall must chain smoke because the landing smells strongly of cigarettes, and you can hear their TV at night. But as long as a little noise is okay, you’ll enjoy this launch pad into Barcelona.
