We had a wonderful stay in Barcelona and it was largely due to Mar's place being so centrally located. When I choose air b and b's the one area I will not compromise on is location. Not only was this the BEST location but the apartment was also very comfortable and unique. We felt totally immersed into the Spanish culture, largely because of the apartment. We walked to all things Barcelona and I mean ALL. The best part was, the area was so clean and safe. We felt perfectly comfortable out and about at night. Well lit streets and friendly folks all around.
Sagrada Familia- 30 min walk
Park Güell- 40 min walk
La Pedrera- 15 min walk
Casa Batlló-10 min walk
Supermercado- 2 min walk
Waterfront/aquarium/zoo- 40 min walk
Olympic stadium/montjuic- 45 min walk

We feel so good after walking everywhere and soaking up what a special place Barcelona is. We miss it already! Mar was lovely, a perfect host.
