We had a great time in Barcelona, mostlydue to the location! 4 min walk to La Sagradia Familia and could walk easily to the parc Ciutadella and the Arc. The metro was nearby only about a 5 min walk. The room was perfect for the two of us and we almost felt like we had the apartment to ourselves! We didn't actually get to meet Montse but met her friend Eddie who let us in,showed us around and gave us some information about the metro and tourist sites etc. Overall would highly recommend it.
