Maria rents a lovely place where you can get a great rest in Barcelona without being surrounded by tacky tourists. We felt safe, at home, and confident in the privacy of our little apartment in a sweet and friendly neighbourhood. The rental has a fridge, freezer, iron, hair dryer, bathroom and beach towels, and is just as shown in the photo. Be sure to head up to the old bunker that is up the street (and up the hill) to get some great photos of the view that is just over the apartment. We would recommend staying here to anyone!
We would also recommend taking public transport from the airport on arrival.
Taxi= 40 euros. Public transport= 15 euros.
It's easy: take a blue airport shuttle bus from the airport to Plaza Cataluña. (30-40mins) Then you catch the 24 bus in front of El Corte Ingles store, basically 10 seconds away from where airport bus' final stop. 24 is marked on the bus shelter. #24 is 2.15 euros and you want to get off 2 stops after Park Guell. Maria's place is a 2 minute walk (and you can do it with luggage if you take your time) She'll give you the address when you book with her.
