We were welcomed to this apartment by Pep, who gave us the full tour of it, and gave us immediately all of the information that we required. We found our way about, for the next six days, without needing to contact the hosts again, and did so very well. The apartment is within easy walking distance from three metro stations, which are on different lines, but they all interconnect anyway, and so the closest one will do, once you can follow the workings of the system. Restaurants, bars, bakeries, souvenir shops, and small supermarkets are right outside the front door and we only cooked one meal, as it was too convenient to find exactly what we wanted so near at hand. The apartment is described as cosy, and by that it is meant small. We didn't need anything larger, and as we were very busy exploring the streets of Barcelona, we did little more than sleep and study the guides and maps while there. Having a free internet connection in the apartment was a definite bonus for keeping in contact with the rest of the world and for storing all of the photos that we took, and for searching for more things to do. I think that this apartment is an ideal base for active people to enjoy what Barcelona has to offer, and I am happy to recommend it as such.
