Alba was there to meet us and guide us to the apartment. Alba was most friendly and helpful. The apartment was just right for 4 people. We enjoyed the balcony and ate outside several nights. The view was the back side of buildings, but it was OK, nice to be part of a neighborhood. It's not close to major sites (except Camp Nou for soccer fans) but is one block from the L5 metro which will take you close to La Pedrera and Casa Batlló and the L5 links to other routes. We enjoyed the neighborhood sidewalk cafes and the convenience of the local Caprabo market and Mercat Collblanc, all on the same plaza as the apartment. We did have a problem getting taxis to find the general neighborhood. After a few extra long rides we stuck to the metro when returning to the apartment. We did not have that problem when going into the city. It's nice to stay in a neighborhood not dominated by crowds. Thanks, Alba, for the lovely stay!
