Fantastic apartment spans the building so you get a great cross-breeze on warm days. Keyed access to the building and very secure locks on the door made us feel secure leaving personal documents. An elevator in the building makes carrying luggage and groceries up and down easy. There is a giant (by Barcelona standards) grocery store a couple of blocks away that Sophia tipped us on to. Easy access to metro and main roads for taxis. Small balcony overlooking the main road provided hours of people watching fun. Sophia was a great hostess; very responsive and flexible. There were guide books and maps in the apartment as well as some welcome fruit, bread, and water.
