The apartment is in a great location to explore all of Barcelona (We liked the pub next door for a nightcap!). We could walk to a variety of restaurants, gelato spots and bars. The neighborhood is great to explore and we loved the "Plaza" or "Squares" that the neighbors gathered at night to visit. The transportation is very close and reliable; we explored the beaches, Olympic Stadiums/ Bull Fighting Mall, La Sagrada Familia, and Montserrat- to name a few. We love that there were suggestions and maps in the apartment to help organize our days. It was great and can't wait to come back again. Thanks!
