Natalia’s apartment is a wonderful minimalist apartment in a lovely residential neighborhood. There are two comfortable beds, plenty of space to settle in and a large terrace. We stayed almost a week and we really enjoyed the neighborhood that is away from the central chaos but also bustling with its own local action. Some of the best restaurants in Barcelona are within 5-10 minutes walking distance. Highly recommend Niño Viejo and La Gastronomica for dinner, and Morrow cafe for coffee, but there are also endless tapas spots and cafes to choose from.
The apartment is about 30 minutes walking from major sights such as La Pedrera and Gaudi’s “Block of Discord”, Picasso Museum, Montejüic (bottom of the hill) and central neighborhoods such as Barrí Gotic, L’Eixample and Gràcia, 60 minutes walking to Sagrada Família. When we tired of walking we hopped on the L1 line which took us to many central areas and stops at Rocafort station just a few blocks away. Also only 5 minutes walking to Plaça d’Espanya which has ample transportation options to parts of Barcelona and beyond.
Natalia was a lovely host. She made great transportation recommendations. When we arrived she showed us around the apartment so that we were seamlessly able to use all the appliances and was quick to respond to any communication. Highly recommend.
