Andrea’s listing was a perfect place to spend over a week exploring Barcelona. The location provides easy access to the main tourist areas on the Metro (and a few sights are in walking distance), but is far enough from the main sights that it has a local feel. The surrounding restaurants are superb and there’s no shortage of groceries and bakeries.
If you stay on a weekend, consider bringing earplugs as it may be quite noisy. Note that noise would be tough to avoid on any Barcelona street.
Overall, we were thrilled with our stay and would happily stay again!
