If you want a place to rest and visit Barcelona, this is it. We loved staying at Silvia's apartment. It is very well located, 50m from two main metro stations. It's the perfect place to rest (the nights are really quiet and the mattress is new and "absolutly fabulous") and to go easily to La Rambla. The 10 journeys metro ticket is very cheap and will take you every where. The house has a little interior garden that provides a nice cosy ligth to all the apartment, the kitchen is completly furnished. Sylvia is a very nice person and left us food for breakfast because we arrived Saturday nigth, and was available to give us all the indications we needed and help us to search ways to buy tickets to Sagrada Família (you can buy them in "La Caixa" ATMs and online - no need for the 2h cue!).
Thank you Silvia for your hospitality.
(see you soon)
