A perfect location from which to launch an exploration of Barcelona. A couple of blocks from Sagrada Familia, the metro, and the Hop On/Off bus, with a teriffic bakery on the corner and a block away from a Costis supermarket. The elevator is especially useful when lugging a load of groceries from Costis. The apartment is clean, airy, and well-furnished. On those extra warm days the AC is a blessing. One of the advantages is we were in the warm and helpful hands of Ximena. She coordinated meeting to give us the keys and to orient us to the neighborhood. She reached out in the middle of our five night stay to be sure all was going well and booked us a taxi to the airport. She also came by on our departure to make sure we got off without a hitch. Ximena is a gem!
