This is a quiet neighbourhood and off the main busy tourist traps and it’s great to come back to at the end of the day.
We walked to the Gothic quarter and then on to the harbour but used taxis to get further to places like the Segrada Familia. (although we walked back from their for extra Apple steps). The Oma cafe opposite has the best coffee and do amazing lunches and breakfast. After trying lots of Tapas restaurants in Barcelona Casa Jamie, also opposite the apartment building was voted our favourite. I know the Brewdog bar opposite is for beer but DON’T go there for anything else. The food is rubbish and they charged €34 for 2 gin and tonics, go the Beer Cabin round the corner for some real Basqueland ales and a great atmosphere. Finally I have to mention Delacrem, also round the corner. They serve the best ice cream in Barcelona but you have to be prepared to que but it’s worth it, especially the apple and cinnamon flavour.
The apartment building is beautiful with all its original features but the apartment is modern and contemporary. Perfect for any couple but the roll out bed was good enough for our teenage son.
If you need any more persuading you’ll have green parrots chirping in the trees opposite your balcony to serenade you in the morning.
