This is a great apartment & well located to explore Barcelona. We chose to walk everywhere.... La Rambla, Barcelonetta & Parc Guell etc
At night the apartment was surprisingly quiet considering the location - no passing traffic which helped and with a great balcony for watching the world pass by beneath.
A decent bakery (pannus) is at street level and perfect for breakfast pastries and more & we found the nearby Mercadona to be way better than any of the other smaller grocery stores.
If you're heading for the beach, look up & visit Bonita Bar for the very best lunch vibe going.
