We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cesar's apartment. It's a 10 minute walk from the beach and 5 minutes from the metro. We chose to stay outside of central Barcelona as we wanted to be closer to the beach but it was very easy to get into the central part of the city to see the sights and eat dinner when we wanted. Cesar also arranged for transportation to the airport for us when we were leaving. All in all, great host and apartment!
