The host met us at the garage entrance. They gave us the address to the garage door and it worked out great. The garage is in the basement of the apartment building, which was very convenient. the apartment was very nice, on a wonderful pedestrian street. I spent my down time on the balcony, enjoying people (and dog) watching. The beach is just a 5 minute walk, and they provided beach towels for us to use! We took a cab to get to La Rambla, and Park Guell, etc., and the cab was easy to get. Since they didn't have a person arriving the day we left, they offered for us to stay as long as we wanted, so we did a nice beach day. There were dozens of food places within 5 minutes of the apartment, including a market, and gelato shop. Great place and great hosts.
