The apartment is in amazing location, right of La rambla and place de catulunya. Most of old Barcelonais walkable and close to metro. La rambla is about 150mtrs. The street in front is very lively ..many artisits and musicians will make your time in the balcony worth while. Loved the stay.
We reached Barcelona during the protests but we where not effected by it. We had a wonderful time.
