This is in a perfect location if you want a more local feel. Close to cute shops, great cafes and restaurants, a health food store and the Metro. Monica was very nice and helpful even giving us a list of vegetarian restaurants in the area to try. The apartment itself was clean and bright and roomy. It had great views from the decks.
A few minor things detracted from the experience. One being the sewer gas smell. This seems to be all over Barcelona, but was really bad when we arrived. Monica responded promptly, but there's really very little that can be done. The other was the elevator noise was loud every time it was used. Again this was just due to the penthouse location and where the elevator gears are so nothing to be done. We were out and about most of the day though so it was mainly in the morning it affected us.
Thank you for everything, Monica!
