The location outside the main attractions but easily accessible with 2 metro stations. Also, it is short walk from the train station arriving from the airport. Wally was a good host. Check in and check out processes were very smooth. There are grocery stores, bakeries, small bars, and restaurants around the area so it is very convenient. The apartment is the right size for 4 people and having a washer/dryer is a plus for all of us who traveled around Europe before Barcelona.
