The apartment has a very spacious living room and we enjoyed our early morning balcony view with the sunshine pouring into the room. A perfect way to start each day! The bedrooms are comfortable and both showers are very clean, with good water pressure. The neighborhood is terrific! Great inexpensive supermarket (Bon Preu) around the corner and other shopping and restaurants too. The Eixample area is a perfect blend of quiet and lively. The apartment doesn't get street noises due to good quality double-paned windows. We walked to both Gaudi houses, La Padrera and Casa Batllo. We also walked to Arena de Barcelona and to Sagrada Famillia. The Provenca metro stop is nearby so we used that a few times. I recommend the 10 ticket metro packet; we shared it among our family of 5 -- thanks to our host's great suggestion. Hope to return to Barcelona some day and would certainly stay here again!
