A fantastic stay at Ana and Rafa’s place for our family of 4. The apartment was easy to find with great instructions for self check-in. Rafa came to see us the next morning to collect tourist tax and answer any questions we had.
The apartment was spotless with lovely amenities such as extra toilet rolls, bin bags, dishwasher tablets, tea coffee and sugar. This all made our stay feel much more homely and saved on waste buying those items to leave behind.
We got the Aerobus to and from the apartment. The Aerobus stop back to the airport is outside the Barcelo hotel on pl. Espanya - not where you are dropped off. We walked to Nou Camp and Las Ramblas, both around 45 mins and through some lively neighbourhoods. We then got a 48hr unlimited metro pass to visit lots of other sites. We went over to Barceloneta one evening, a really lovely place with a modern marina in contrast to the older town. Places we liked- El Born, Poble Sec, Eixample, La Vila de Gràcia, Parc Cuitadella.
