The host was very considerate. We were able to leave our bags early and he really took the time to discuss our stay, restaurants, things to see and was very attentive to our needs. La Rambla is walking distance (not very close, but relatively close), - walking back you’ll need a map (if that makes sense). We were able to take the metro to the beach, Park Guell, and the Sants station. (Park Guell requires some additional walking and for the beach just follow everybody for a couple of blocks after you exit the train). Coming from the airport the A1 leaves you 2 blocks away (the host said the street stop was Borell but it was Urgell, one block over. So just be aware of that - the bus has WiFi and you can follow where you are going with an online map just in case). The place is very nice. The AC works well and quickly. The balcony is very relaxing. The Sant Antoni market is 2 blocks away if you need good local food to bring back. Other food markets are a block away. The only downside is that a couple blocks in the wrong direction may make you feel uncomfortable walking and we were told to walk the main streets at night.
