The apartment is located in a quieter neighbourhood which suited us well. It's bright and quiet and has the basics. Having the washing machine was a great bonus but there's nowhere to dry(there's no balcony), which was a pain. We visited in winter and although the apartment has an air conditioner, we found the apartment cold. Laia responded quickly to our request of extra duvet which really helped. The apartment has obviously been updated recently with fixtures and furniture but the walls were dirty and the kitchen cupboards smelt very damp.
There are plenty of food shops nearby, grocery, bakery and health food .
The Alfons X metro line is a short walk away and gets you into the centre quickly.
Slightly disappointed overall for the money we paid.
