This apartment located in a quiet street in probably 15-20 minutes walk to Placa Catalunya. We truly enjoyed our stay as we could get around with a taxi anywhere in town relatively fast. The only downside there is no elevator in this building, so if you have a big suitcase get ready to carry it up. Other than that we had a fantastic stay. Many nice restaurants around the area, and I mean real restaurants and not tourists traps like on Las Rambles.
