Lia’s apartment is in a great location, an easy walk to the waterfront La Rambla, and the Gothic District. It’s a few steps from the Metro which is an easy way to get anywhere in Barcelona. Get the Metro pass beforehand. There are lots of personal touches like extra tea and local cookies available. Lia had told us about the street noise, as there are many outside restaurants on her street. This was true, and it illustrated the true exuberance of Barcelona.
