Great apartment for exploring Barcelona - only two roads back from the beach with easy access across the city by Metro.
Lots of cool and interesting places to explore nearby too.
We walked most of the time from the apartment and only used the metro one day to get to the Park Güell.
We walked to the Sagrada Familia from the apartment and it took about an hour, but we picked a route through Poblenou to stop for coffee along the way. We then walked back through the Rambla and stopped at La Boqueria to take in the food market and try some tapas. And then continued down to walk along the beach promenade back to the apartment.
The apartment was as expected from the photos and description and the host met us promptly on our arrival to show us in. We did have an issue with the toilet initially, but the host was great in responding and getting someone out immediately to fix it for us.
All in all, the location was perfect for us, as we wanted to mix our stay between the beach and seeing some of the city attractions and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to walk to where we wanted to go without needing to take the Metro.
