My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at Cristina's apartment in Barcelona. We had a great time. She and the apartment manager were very helpful. helped us find a fiesta of San... dancing, a parade and art festival. We loved the Gaudi sites--the Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Casa Mila, Casa Battlo--and other Modernista buidlings including the Hospital (just across the street) and Palao de Musica by Montener. The subway is a block away. There are myriad tapas bars and restaurants and groceries nearby. The Avenida Sagrada Familia just around the corner is a pedestrian lane with views all the way to the cathedral. It's a great location for access to all of the sites.
