We spent a month in this apartment and loved it! There are great views of the Botanical gardens from the dining room and kitchen. It's really a breath of fresh air in the midst of the city. It's a very spacious apartment with everything you'll need. We loved having a clothes washer!
It's wonderful being so close to the old city. It's a great neighborhood. Some recommendations: Nou Dorita bakery is great for the menu of the day and takeaway quiche / croissants for breakfast. Napoleon has great coffee and breakfast items. Bycilic coffee shop has delicious coffee and sandwiches. The Flamenco show at Cafe del Duende was amazing. Jimmy Jazz is great for Jazz. Kebap bolseria has fantastic Doner Kebap sandwiches. Veneta has the best gelato. Latte and Farina has delicious pizza and pasta.
We stayed a month so we got a Valenbisi membership. It's 30 euros for a year and every ride of less than 30 minutes is free. Definitely recommend for long stays (buy the card at a tobacco shop). We download a street art map and enjoyed our own walking tour. There are some great bike tours on Airbnb experiences.
We recommend a walk around the Botanical gardens, go up to the top of the Torres de Quart. The Central market and the Oceangrafic center are must sees.
We highly recommend this apartment. It's in a great neighborhood and is great for a long stay.
