Wow! Location Location Location !!! Apartment was great, stylish, and very modern and secure. Oriol checked us in directly and provided a tour with local tips. Oriol went out of his way to welcome us and arrange a return taxi to the airport ... The location was much better than expected with all the food and drink options immediately downstairs... you could stay here two weeks and eat something different each night without walking more than three blocks ... like others said metro is a 10 min walk but you get to pass so many cool side streets and shops you won’t mind the walk ... beach is a good solid five min walk but thats nothing once you get there and enjoy all it offers ... this will definitely be my first option if/when I return to Barcelona!!!
