Rosa's communication before and during was awesome. We took the metro from the airport to Arc de Triomf but came up to the wrong street for directions given. We got pointed in the right direction from the Pharmacist who took us outside to literally point us in the right direction. Rosa was outside on the corner waiting for us and recognized us from our pictures. She greeted us with enthusiasm and hugs. She took us up to our apartment and showed us everything and we spoke a bit about Catalonian politics and she put us at ease. (We arrived just after their leaders were jailed.) The neighborhood is great and we made made friends are several places. The location is awesome! You are next to the metro station L1 and the train station. The Arc de Triomf is there and you can walk all the way down to the water in roughly 20 minutes.
