Eli and Agus are great welcoming hosts. They had warm bread and milk / Water so we didn't have to run any where to get stuff on arrival. The apartment is very spacious ( our family of 4 with 2 kids). There is a bakery right around the corner and has great croissants / cappuccino etc. La Sagrada Familia is a easy walk. The train station is even closer (Monumental). Eli and Agus spent time with us to orient us with a map and some tips (like the T10 ticket in the metro). We took the bus tour - Barcelona touristic and had a great time in the city. Great restaurants close by. One night we dined at El Nogle on Diputacio and enjoyed the Paella very much. If you go to Sarria I highly recommend restaurant Santana. Interestingly, we found it by luck as a good Samaritan offered to give us a lift and dropped us right in front of the place with a recommendation. What a great city and nice apartment!
