We loved that they had a printed map for us with suggestions on the best places for brunch and paella. The neighborhood was perfect to explore the city by foot. We were 15 mins away by taxi to parc Güell and Camp Nou. There were countless restaurants and shops right outside the front door. Two minute walk to La Rambla and 10 minutes to the beach. Also there were grocery stores everywhere with fresh produce and simple toiletries you may need. The flat was very clean with a lot of natural light, fully equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable. We were sad to leave. It also has a lovely balcony with a gorgeous view down the streets. That was my favorite part of the flat. Highly recommended, especially for a first visit to Barcelona.
