We enjoyed our stay at Ines’ place. Ines provided great recommendations for everything from restaurants to shopping to transportation. The pictures weren’t quite accurate, but the place definitely grew on us during our four-night stay. Loved the outdoor shower! Care needs to be taken when going to and from the terrace (a two-step stool is provided, but the floors are slippery, especially if showering outside). Small elevator, but we always took the stairs to work off all of the tapas we were eating. The area is “up and coming,” so we stayed aware of our surroundings. A 15-minute walk to the beach. About a 30-minute walk to La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. A 20-minute walk to La Sagrada. A 15-minute walk to Rambla de Poblenou. Great little place for coffee and breakfast just a few steps down the street. For dinner, be sure to try Catacroquet, a 10-15 minute walk.
