Conveniently located just blocks from Sagrada Familia and within walking distance to several metro stations, we were able to get to where we wanted to go in Barcelona. Our favorite time of the day was the afternoon, sitting on the balcony, having a glass of wine and enjoying the view of the modernista Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. Good restaurants just on the street below and close to markets. Our host was amenable and quickly got back to us when we had questions.
