We are a family of four with two children, so the residential location of this apartment suited us perfectly as we wanted somewhere quieter in the evenings to ensure our kids would get to sleep! This wouldn't suit anyone wishing a more livelier nightlife.
There are some very good supermarkets nearby, (Casa Ametller, which stocks good quality ready made meals if you don't fancy cooking from scratch) and one particularly good cafe (Santagloria).
The front room was lovely, bright and airy with a nice view onto the local park, but we didn't like the apartment layout which has a long corridor running along the full length of the apartment so that the main bedroom and kitchen windows look out onto a dark central cavity. The apartment suited our needs for a 4 night stay in the city and we were very grateful for the air conditioning in the front room and the bedroom at the end of the apartment where the children slept, but had to make do with an electric fan in the main bedroom, which was ok, but noisy.
Communication with Kristina was great, she was incredibly pleasant and helpful and very prompt with our check-in.
