Rosa is the best host I have come across. She is super attentive and takes care of sll details. Met us at the airport (add fee) showed us around . The apt is well located and you can walk around to most places - Placa de catalunya 15 mts, beach barceloneta 20 mts. gothic quarters 10 mts. The arc de triomfe metro is right adjacent to the apt- which could get you anywhere. The chinese restaurant was good and were loads of rests around. Condis super market convenient and stocks all you may need. Very convenient with my daughter . Will come back to barcelona and stay with rosa again.
