I have found an incredible spot to stay in Barcelona with amazing views of La Sagrada. It is just a few blocks away. It's that an ok neighborhood? Any suggestions for better location?
If it's the neighborhood that I think you are referencing then you should be fine, it's more of a workaday part of town, residential, less glamor and glitz, but perfectly safe. I used to live there myself.
We spent a wonderful week near La Sagrada Familia.
Sounds like a winner, this is a great area.
