Jesus' place is located about a 20 min metro ride from downtown Barcelona. It is a 10-15 minute walk to Park Gruell. The Metro stop is a 3 min walk, the bus right in front of his place, there is a bakery, a market and numerous bars/restaurants all within a 5 min walk. The best part of staying at Jesus' place was Jesus himself. He met us on the street and helped us with our bags, he gave us a tourist map and pointed out all the spots to see, the metro stops they were on and how to get around. He was a great host. Note the parking spot is not at the apt., it is a 3 min walk away, but it is in a secure, locked parking garage, which is easy to get in and out of.
