Great unit overall. It is small, but it was just enough for us. Everything in the unit worked just fine. As for the location, it isn't central - you get a nice feel of what it is like to be a local, living away from all the tourist attractions. Consider what you want out of your trip first, and then decide if you wouldn't mind staying away from many of the sights. However, it is obvious that tourists aren't seen in the area just by the looks we were getting from the locals in the area. It is really close to Collblanc metro station which is a HUGE plus. The center is easily accessible by the L5 line, so that's a plus. There are a bunch of good places to grab food right near the apartment. We enjoyed trying all of the tortilla de patatas that most of the places offered. Alba and her husband are very sweet hosts. Highly recommended for a safe location and quiet place to stay.
