We enjoyed our stay at Jose Luis's flat.
The area is perfect for families, plenty of food shops, bakeries, cafe's for all pockets, no 7 metro line that drops you in Placa Catalunya within 15min travel time. Our favourite nearby places were the Tamarita Park, and Caixa Science Museum (not only great value for money, but giving the opportunity to view an Amazonian forest with accompanying fish, animals & birds - much better than the overcrowded Aquarium).
The building is sparkling clean, and neighbours lovely.
