Andrea and Lia were great hosts. Communication was great and they accommodated us arriving earlier than expected. The apartment is in a quiet, but vibrant area with lots of tapas bars and restaurants. Serco, across the road had great food and the waiter was very friendly. There is so much to do in and around Barcelona, it is better for travellers to plan ahead to ensure they accomplish all they set out to do. I really enjoyed a guided e-bike tour of the city. The guide was local, had very good knowledge and was personable. Felt as though we walked for miles on other days and spent some time on the beach. We would recommend going to the beaches further along from Barceloneta as they are quieter. We took the train to Sitges. It was a little difficult navigating our way through the train station, but staff were helpful.
