we had a wonderful time in barcelona. the apartment is a walking distance to la rambla, passeig de gracia, le boqueria, etc. we felt secured walking around the block. we so love the grocery near the place. it was a 30sec minute walk. there were a lot of restos and tapas in the area too.
our hostess, aranxta was very helpful and hospitable. her bubbly mood was contagious. when we arrived in the place, she provided us local restos and tips moving around the city. the welcome goods esp the FILIPINOS biscuit and san miguel beer in cans were very thoughtful.
