Its a beautiful, new apartment in a quiet residential area very close to Parc Guell. However, its not very close to many of the other great tourist attractions in Barcelona. Public transportation is about a ten minute walk away. Our host could not meet us but made sure that a friend was waiting to give us all necessary information, and was in contact by email. They also had an incredibly detailed folder with information about restaurants and local attractions that was extremely helpful. We enjoyed our stay.
