A real authentic Catalan home experience. It's nice to stay in a place that didn't feel like a big business but just a simple sharing. I had such a lovely welcome from Mercedes and really enjoyed my stay.
The apartment is located right next to a metro stop, a walking distance from the beach but a little metro ride away from the parts of Barcelona that you might want to visit the most as a tourist. The public transportation is great though so that wasn't an issue.
I was happy to have earplugs on me, since the building itself has thin walls and you can hear the neighbors a bit more than what I'm used to.
