This apartment was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Joe met us upon arrival and he was very accommodating even made us reservations for dinner one night. When we couldn’t figure out how to use the stove he came right over to help. There are several coffee shops and places to grab a bite right outside the apartment and it was just about 8 min drive or so from the Gothic Quarter and only a few blocks from other high end shopping areas. The street itself was pretty quiet so we were able to sleep well. Apparently the metro is very close but we never used it. We also walked to Sagra Família from here ( about 20 min or so). We were traveling with our infant and felt safe and secure here in this building. It does have an elevator that from time to time doesn’t work but they are quick to fix it. I am glad we stayed here instead of right in the busy tourist areas. We were still very close to the action but in an area where our family could rest
