What a great location! I know all prior reviews mentioned the “CONVENIENCE” factor as the #1 highlight, but it cannot be understated. Conveniently located within 20 minutes of all key areas, and perfectly situated away from the crowds of tourists where you get to experience life among the locals in a safe neighborhood. The T4 Tram (Fluvia stop) right at your door step, L4 Subway (Selva de Mar stop) 2 blocks away, and several bus options around the corner. Right outside your door at the Tram stop is a Metro ticket machine. Highly recommend getting the discounted T-10 ticket (for roughly 10 euros) which offers 10 rides on any Tram, Subway or Bus. You can share this ticket across people. Google maps works brilliantly and even lets you know when the next tram, train or bus is arriving. It runs very frequently all day and night.
The second highlight beyond Convenience, is the security and safety of the apartment. Located in a well-maintained building, with a gated entry and 24/7 doorman, the apartment is relatively basic (reflected in its affordable price), but was clean and the balcony and beautiful sunlight and breeze is what makes this unit awesome. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful at all times, even though we never had the pleasure of meeting in person.
There is a nearby Lidl grocery store (believe it’s closed on Sundays) so I highly recommend stocking up on bottled water, fruits, snacks, and toilet paper (there was a quarter of a roll left for us and we checked all pantries and cabinets- found plenty of paper towels though). We weren't smart enough to figure out the microwave until the very last day, (we even had to google the microwave brand for directions LOL) Beds and bedding could use updating/upgrading but again, we were not visiting Barcelona to sleep :) The water pressure in showers are FANTASTIC. They don’t use plastic liners inside of the shower curtain, so use the handheld to be mindful of splashing water.
This was a FANTASTIC rental for a GREAT VALUE and we are thrilled with our week's stay at this apartment.
