julia's place is wery well located,you will will probably never need to use public transportation,but if you choose to do so,buses and metros are right at the corner,so as supermarkets (next to building's entrance); julia will respect your intimacy but is very helpfull if you need any advice;room has no daylight,but it was perfect for me as i work a lot on the computer editing travelogues videos; you can sun bathe on her small balcony,though...at equal distance between POBLE SEC and famous RAVAL,as well as the harbour,short walk to RAMBLAS, 15mn TO THE BEACH, a lovely and lively neighborhood,a quiet and clean bedroom in a nice older building,what do you want more? i highly recommend julia's place if you want to spend a few days (or even longer,as i stayed one month there) in the heart of barcelona;
