It’s a nice apartment: clean, spacious and well-located. We could walk to interesting neighborhoods and we had a nice view of the Sagrada Familia from our windows. The apartment doesn’t feel like home away from home. It’s not filled with art or knick knacks, there isn’t a welcome book or anything like that. But it is clean, convenient, and safe. The metro is a few steps away. There are at least a few little food markets within a block. The only issue we had is with the noise. Walls are paper thin and many visitors to Barcelona feel entitled to party loudly. It was very difficult to catch up on sleep. Other than a tendency to have neighbors who party late into the night, the apartment is a very good, safe place to stay while in Barcelona. I highly recommend it.
