Lovely apartment, Xavier picked us up from the airport for €25 which was helpful as we had a late flight. Close to the metro station Paral-lel and I would recommend you use the metro to get into La Rambla (it's two stops away), you can walk (about 10 mins) however you have to walk through the old town and we did not feel comfortable when we did this. It was a little noisy at night with people talking on the street in the early hours however just using earplugs was fine. You can walk straight down Paral-lel and end up near the water (about a 3.5 walk). Overall a nice stay!
