Best location for sightseeing in Barcelona! Easily walkable to Passeig de Gracia, Ramblas, El Corte Ingles, Barri Gothic, etc. Also near metro if you're too hot or tired to walk anywhere. Easy to get to Montjuic, Sagrada Familia and Park Guell by metro, or walk to Casa Batlo and Casa Mila. Emanuele was wonderful to come over on a Sunday even while he had relatives over, to help out with our Wifi problem which he fixed right away. He and Marta also had a book with great info on best places for gelato, souvenirs, restaurants, etc. He was amused by our Starbucks takeout on our arrival and recommended a much better local place nearby that we loved. We also really enjoyed cooling off in the pool upstairs which was secluded, and having a washer and dryer in the apartment was a lifesaver for us!
