Really nice apartment. Great communications and meet on arrival. We wanted something slightly out of the centre as we were travelling in August with kids. This is so close to a really nice part of the beach, so we were able to start or end every day with a walk and a swim and still tick all the boxes we wanted to. Highly recommended.
It is a small (10 mins max) walk to the metro but up a really nice street with plenty of food and drink options near by. Once on the metro its literally just 3 stops to the bottom of the Ramblas or beyond. We were very pleasantly surprised and happy with it. As an aside the area around was really interesting and a completely different vibe to other parts of the City we'd previously visited. Dig around the side streets a little and there is a real (modern) Brooklyn type look and feel to the area.
