I stayed here with my 9yo son as we travelled to Barcelona for to watch a match. This is a great rental for a family or even a couple who want to be away from the city. We mainly used taxis. €13 to Sagrada Familia and the same to placa de catalunya all booked via my taxi. We walked down 2 days to get the metro it's about 15 minutes walk. The hill back up would take longer as the gradient is very steep in places. My son loved the place because of the pool and the views. As I said if you want to go to the city durning the day and come back to peace and quiet this is perfect.
