Marcos place was great. We enjoyed walking around the the neighborhood. Everything was very close and accessible. We were able to walk all the way to La Rambla in about 45 minutes. Public transportation was great and getting a cab was a snap. Just about a 10 minute walk away was a fabulous market with all the freshest foods. Sagrada Familia was about 4 blocks away.
Marcos was very helpful and checked in to make sure we were doing ok.
We plan to visit Barcelona again and will check in here for another stay.
