Montse had someone at the apartment to give us the key and orient us to the apartment. The apartment had everything we needed to fix meals and wash clothes and make our stay very pleasant. Our only surprise was our lack of understanding of European floor designations. Our 4th floor apartment was actually six flights up - entrance floor, principal floor, and then floors 1-4. The apartment was on the top floor and provided for a very pleasant breeze when all the windows were open. The neighborhood was exceptional and very authentic. We felt quite comfortable walking in the neighborhood during the day or at nighttime. There were loads of great plazas, cafes and tapa bars to choose from. It was a comfortable walk to the metro diagonal stop and near major boulevards, as well as Sagrada de Familia Cathedral. we really enjoyed the location and the apartment.
