Jordi’s apartment was in such a great location. Surrounding the apartment was lots of restaurants/cafes/bars and the local supermarket was a two minute walk away. Jordi was easy to get in contact with and a friendly guy in general. Before arriving he sent me advice on places on interest, where to visit and where to eat. Also what to avoid in terms of costly restaurants and areas. This was very useful and I ended up visiting a few of his recommended restaurants. He also advised me on how to get from the airport to the apartment. When arriving Jordi was waiting for us. He showed us around the apartment and made us feel welcome. The apartment was great, perfect for 3 people as there was a double bed room and a single bed room. It was clean, stylish and had a nice kitchen in case you want to cook food instead of going out. The beds were comfortable and there was aircon and fans as it can get pretty warm. Balcony has a good view of the streets and even though it’s a busy area you don’t hear too much noise. Passeig de Gracia was around a 10 minute walk away which was great because it has a variety of shops, restaurants and tourist attractions such as Casa Milà and Casa Batlló.
The apartment is also close to bus stops which you can do the open top bus tour from. Along with the metro and local bus services. The beach was about a 45 minute walk away however you can walk there via Las Ramblas (which if you go for a drink and visit the market like we did - really helps break up the journey). Got the metro back from the beach to Passeig de Gracia which was about 3 stops. Cannot fault the location as nothing felt far away. Jordi was the perfect Host and if I returned to Barcelona would definitely stay here again.
