i stayed six nights in the studio apartment before somewhat reluctantly moving on to Zaragoza. By the end of my stay, it'd begun to feel like home. There was a school nearby, i think, because i saw parents or older siblings picking up the children.

Federico was waiting when i arrived from El Prat, via Renfe then Metro based on his detailed instructions. i think you can also take the Aerobus to Catalunya then Line3 Metro to Lesseps. From the Metro lift, turn left and the studio is just 5 minutes away. It was as clean and cozy as advertised, and there were supermarkets and pharmacies 2 minutes away.

Barcelona is a gorgeous city, and this makes a very good base from which to get to know the beautiful city of Gaudi.
