Lola’s place is well situated for visiting the centre of Barcelona. It is approximately 25 minutes walk to La Rambla and a shorter distance to La Pedrera. There are many bars, restaurants and shops in the area. It is located a short distance from the Metro - which is handy for travelling to Nou Camp and the hop on, hop off bus route passes nearby. Both the airport and the cruise port can be reached within 30 minutes by taxi.
You will get some traffic noise (in the main bedroom) and occasionally hear the neighbours as you might expect in a city centre.
The quirky apartment reflects the historical area it is located in. If you are looking for a modern, luxurious apartment - this isn’t for you. The apartment is on the 6th floor and accessed by a small lift or stairs.
Lola was quick to respond to any questions and was very accommodating in looking after our baggage before we had access to the apartment and after we left.
We did not cook in the apartment so can’t comment on the facilities. The apartment was very clean.
We used all three bedrooms - the third is a little cramped if being used by 2 adults for a period of time.
Overall - a good base for exploring Barcelona with an accommodating host.
