We enjoyed our stay very much. Taras met us and walked us thru everything.
The apartment is just like the pictures, nicely decorated & very comfortable. We felt at home immediately.
Small markets, pastry shops, and fruit shops close by.
Las Rambla is a short walk away, metro L2 & L3 are close by - so had no problem making our way around.
Our short list of tours we'd recommend -
(1) Basilica de la Sagrada Familia - book an early access tour
(2) Park Guell (Gaudi) - do an early access tour
(3) Girona, Figueres and Dali Museum Day Trip - pick an English only tour. If a Game of Thrones fan then book a GOT tour of Girona. If not a Dali fan then just do Girona, you can easily spend all day there. Love to Girona streets at night.
If we come back to Barcelona we'd stay again at Nadia & Tasar's place.
