The apartment was well located, with Metro access less than three blocks away. Our cab had no issue finding it and we were met by Joaquin minutes after our arrival. Warm and welcoming, the apartment was as advertised, nicely furnished and quiet. The kitchen was well-equipped.
The neighborhood was very pleasant and, well, a neighborhood. Many cafes, bars and restaurants, and a little further away (1.1K 15 minute walk) the Mercat del Ninot was a delightful modern market. For staples and quick shopping a Mercadona was about a block away. We felt comfortable walking all around.
