Rosa´s apartment is a great jumping-off point for exploring Barcelona. We didn´t use the metro but it is nearby. But it is within comfortable walking distance of most of the city, and of course very close to the beach. Everything in the apartment was as described in AirBnB. Her mother provided us with both a warm welcome and some very useful information on exploring Barcelona. The apartment is very clean and provides all of the essentials you need for your stay. Thanks Rosa and Ana!
