Gianlucas flat is perfectly placed to explore Barcelona: the centre of Barcelona is walking distance, 20 minutes,or an easy trip on the metro which is a 2 minute walk away. MontJuic is a 18 minute walk in the other direction and is a stunningly beautiful spot. The flat has all you need and Gianluca and Paola kindly waited for us when we arrived later than expected and also let us leave our bags on our final morning while we explored a little more. Great local restaurants and bakeries. I would recommend Poble Sec and Gianlucas flat.
