The kitchen and the apartment layout is really nice! It is a linear space - common area at front by street and all rooms are accessed off of long hall running the length of the apartment. Each room has windows. 3 are connected (1 room with door) to a linear private courtyard which provides access to outside and natural light in the rooms! The neighborhood to the NW is very interesting with boutiques and small open squares. Great baklava in this area Pastisseria Principe

Also, Parc Guell is not far (easy bus ride from Joanic) and provides great views of the city and ocean as well as makes for a beautiful walk. Really no need to pay to go into ticket area.
