Ana’s apartment is in an excellent location for exploring many of Barcelona’s most well known attractions, with Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and Casa Vicens all within a 15-20 minute stroll. The Sagrada Família and Park Güell are also within walking distance.
We bought a five day Hola! pass but barely used it, apart from a couple of trips on the metro to the Gothic Quarter and the harbour area.
We enjoyed sitting out on the little balcony overlooking a quiet, inner courtyard - the perfect spot for enjoying an evening drink, before venturing out to one of the many restaurants in the area.
Ana was the perfect host - communication was easy and she met us promptly on arrival in Carrer de Torrijos to let us in and show us round the apartment.
