A very smart, clean apartment, around 20 minute walk to Las Ramblas, and also close to the metro. The apartment has been stylishly decorated and is the perfect base for exploring the city.
The local area is not too touristy and has some great local bars and cafes (on Carrer Blai), so there are lots of places to have brunch/lunch and sit outside.
The host's friend, Monica, met us and gave us a map and explained all the different areas and sights, which was very useful.
We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are well-equipped and beds comfy too! We also had a bottle of Cava in the fridge to enjoy, which was a nice touch.
