If you're looking for the perfect spot from which to easily explore Barcelona, this is the place. Even though the unit is steps from a metro station (which connects directly to the downtown/La Rambla area), we often opted to walk instead as it only took 15 minutes to find ourselves already in the Barri Gotic. Pro-tip: take the funicular at the Paral-el metro station to get to the top of Montjuïc, explore all afternoon, then simply walk back to the apartment - only takes about 15 minutes. The apartment itself is cheerfully decorated and the kitchen well equipped - although, the best tapas/pintxos bars are just around the corner, so who needs to cook ;-)
