Staying at Rosa's place was like staying at a friends home. There was nothing she would not do for us. My friend and my little girl was with me and although there were no lifts in the building my little girl enjoyed the space she had to run around. The apartment was very close to the beach and there is a metro link close by so that you can get to Las Ramblas. We arrived late as we had hired a car and the application process was not quick however Rosa waited for us to greet us and also showed us around the apartment. You do not need a car and Rosa will happily arrange a transfer for you. We hope you enjoy barcelona and Rosa's place as much as we did.
