We loved the apartment - it would be very hard not to - I particularly liked sitting in the balcony area overlooking the street. Within a ten minute walk is a lovely lively area full of bars and restaurants and the metro stop is literally outside the door - takes you straight into the centre in minutes and the Parc Guell is a ten-minute walk away. If you want an experience, rather than just a hotel room, this is the perfect choice. Sean and his family were so kind and friendly - booking restaurants and taxis for us, giving us tips to get the most out of our trip and making us so welcome, we felt as though we'd had the privilege of an insider's view of Barcelona rather than just a tourist's one.
