We had a nice time at Rosa’s apartment, situated right in the middle of the lively La Rambla. Her place is very close to Plaça Reial , and the cathedral is just a few minutes away. Her home located on the fifth floor is reached after quite a long flight of steps, and there is no elevator, but once you reach the apartment it is evident that you’ve come to a nice B&B. Climbing up and down the 112 stairs (my sister actually counted them everytime she climbed up to distract herself from tiring out) keeps you fit, and there are more stairs to reach the terrace which is another floor up. We hardly used it, but the views from there are quite nice. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, and Rosa, the hostess is extremely charming and affable. She was very enthusiastic about welcoming us and explaining the important things to see in Barcelona. She was extremely helpful and made us feel at ease in a new city. We had a lovely time here and a great stay in Barcelona. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the heart of the gothic quarter in Barcelona.
