This is a lovely and clean apartment that is outside the main tourist area in the beautiful Gracia neighborhood. The Joanic metro station is about a 3-5 min walk away and there are at least 2 other metro stations within a 15-20 min walk, not to mention numerous bus lines. The location is only 2-3 metro stations away from Placa de Catalunya and about a 15-20 min walk from Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. There are so many wonderful restaurants, stores, and squares nearby. We absolutely enjoyed being in a part of town where you didn't see too many other tourists and instead saw families and people living their daily lives. We had an incredible time in Barcelona and were very comfortable staying in this apartment. The facilities are great and there is even a laundromat a few doors away where they have a dryer if you don't want to wait for you clothes to line dry. There is some street noise given that one of the bedrooms is facing the front of the apartment, but if you plan for this, it shouldn't be a problem. Some people were a little loud outside at night, but it never really bothered us. I'd gladly stay at one of their apartments again if we ever have the chance to return.
