Three of us came to stay at this awesome apartment - my 19 yr old daughter, my 16yr old son and myself. It was our first time in Barcelona and this apartment is perfectly placed for exploring and relaxing!
The neighbourhood is full of lovely little places to eat, but you can find well known chains nearby (McDonald's, KFC, Burger King etc) if you prefer that.
Our host gave us metro and bus details, but we're a pretty active family and found that we could easily walk to the beach, Sagrada Famillia and other places if we took plenty of water!
The apartment was beautifully clean, modern and well fitted and it was a real treat to return to the air conditioning after a day in the heatwave!
It is on the fourth floor however, so do consider this.
Rachid is the perfect host - very communicative and helpful. His English is fantastic too!
If we return to Barcelona we will definitely book this place again.
