Leo was very welcoming and outlined all there was to do for tourists - he even supplied lots of maps and recommendations for restaurants! He also gave us prices and routes for the metro.
The house itself was pleasant although the pictures are enhanced and manipulated to appear much brighter.
The location was quiet and secluded, but it was a €7-8 taxi away from the beach which isn't bad if you're a group of two or more, though hailing a taxi is hard in Barcelona.
We got a taxi to Park Guell and made our way towards the beach whereby we saw the high-end high street of Barcelona and various bits of Gaudi architecture along the route. It is important to note that this is a long walk of approximately 5-6km making it more ideal to cycle around.
Overall, we enjoyed our short two night stay in the city of Barcelona.
