Our family of 6 (4 children aged 8-13 yrs) spent a wonderful 5 day vacation at Roger´s flat.
The flat is in a very nice, non-touristy living area. However, it is only a 12 minutes walk to Place Espanya. The flat is equipped with any amenity you might need (such as kitchenware, a washing machine, hair drier, etc). On the small front facade balkony you can nicely watch the catalan/ spanish life on the wee street downstairs. Our host was very nice and answered all our questions right away. With the metro station Placa de Sants only 5 minutes away, we discovered the sights of Barcelona during mid day and headed off to the beach in the afternoon and early evening.
From Carrer de Sants take bus n° D20 and you reach Barceloneta beach in only about 25 minutes (get out at Admiral Cervera, for ex.).
We really hope to come back soon, as Barcelona has many more treasures to discover!
