Perfect apartment for 5 days (or longer!) in Barcelona for 2 of us. Balcony has morning sun until 3pm(ish) and the big pool has plenty of sun and space for those sunbathers until 8pm.
Location was perfect for us. It's not right in the middle of it all but busy enough and quiet at night! It has some tourist sites around the area, and we hired bikes from just off the big roundabout to see the rest of the city. So many bike lanes and you can always ride on pavement if you don't feel too keen to go on the road. But if I can ride around then anyone can! Takes about 15/20 mins to get to beach front/gothic quarter etc by bike.
In the evening we enjoyed walking into las ramblas (30 min walk) and going for food around the harbour. Or you can just grab a taxi on the main roads. There's plenty of buses around too so I'm sure you can grab one of these but we didn't look into that.
Would definitely stay at this apartment again!
