The apartment is in a lovely residential area, but within easy walking distance to the tourist area.
It has everything you need for a pleasant stay, Patricia was an excellent host and her communication was superb.
Ivan greeted us and showed us posts of places to see and do, he even agreed that we could checkout a little later which was a great help as our flight wasn't until the evening.
Loved the fact that the apartment overlooked a church, quirky but made you feel very private.
The street behind called "Blai" is a must see a very cosmopolitan atmosphere lots of tapas and pintos bars a lot cheaper here €1 each for pintos. Try Zodiacs very friendly staff.
Take a stroll around the area lots of little squares pop up.
If you want to try out the cable car do so from montjuic the queue from here was less than 10 minutes but from the port side was well over an hour wait.
Mountjuic is within walking distance and the view of the city from here is breathtaking.
If you want to take in the culture purchase the open top tourist bus you can hop on and off anytime. Use the original tour company it's a blue bus not the red one, this is better value for money as it takes you on 3 routes the red bus only does 2.
We purchased a 2 day ticket for €39 each which is great value.
The basilica familia is breathtaking but you will need to pre book a ticket to get in.
We didn't see half of the city but walked for miles over our 4 day stay, we drank from the fountain in la rambla so will hopefully return again one day.
