Jordi's place is an ideal base from which to explore the city. Looking at the map it looks a little out of the way but two metro stations are a short walk away thus you are well connected to many of the cities many sights whilst still being in a quite area. Jordi was a great host meeting us when we arrived and giving us an excellent idea of what we could see and do including recommending a number of restaurants, two of which we tried and both of which were fantastic, especially Pepa Tomato who do upmarket gastro tapas that are simply amazing. Well worth finding and within easy walking distance of the apartment. Park Guell is only about a 20 minute walk and highly recommended - perhaps the sight seeing highlight of our short stay. The apartment is compact, bright, clean, modern and well equipped and sleeps 5 easily.
We would highly recommend Jordi's place as your base to explore Barcelona.
