We loved our stay in Barcelona. The apartment was amazing, from the balconies to the tiled floor. You can see the top of the Sagrada Familia from the balcony which was awesome. The location was great - very safe - plenty of restaurants and convenient stores around (a beautiful flower shop is right next door), and it is a couple of blocks away from the very Pg. La Gracia, with excellent shopping. Never had a problem getting a taxi quickly either. We absolutely recommend it.
