Rosa was the perfect host. She gave us suggestions and recommended a few spots nearby that helped us feel right at home. The apartment is in a great location! I could easily take the metro from the Arc De Triomf (~5 min walk away), walk to Las Ramblas (~25min walk), Casa Battló (~20 min walk), Sagrada Familia (~20 min walk), Parque Güell and Gaudí House Museum (can be done via taxi or metro, but I chose to walk about 40 min from Sagrada Familia. There are several supermarkets nearby, which helped a lot too!
