This provided us with a great base for our short stay in Barcelona.
Lia was a great host, making check-in and out very easy, despite our flight delay! The local tips were really helpful, especially Quimet-Quimet tapas bar - quirky and brilliant.
Lia's appartment is 3 minutes walk from the nearest metro station and the same from the bus routes. As it was our second visit, we decided to explore the Poble Sec area and the roads behind the base have a number of very interesting local restaurants and 'eateries' we could have explored much more. Quimet-Quimet was one such, and well worth a visit.
For visitors to Barcelona, we would strongly recommend buying a Hola BCN travel card as this made our stay particularly easy, (and travel cost-effective. It gives unlimited use for a specific number of hours (24, 48, 72 etc) from when you first use it and can be used on train, tram, (local) bus and metro. You can even use it for the trip from the airport and back (metro, not airport bus).
