We were a group of 2 adults and 3 youths staying for one week in the flat. We had a good stay, the flat is big, a big communicative table in the living room, a seperate kitchen to cook with a small window opening to the small inside court of the building (where all the windows from the bathrooms and kitchens are opening to). We slept quite well, despite of the big streets around. Having two baths and a washing machine was great!
The area of the town has a very local feeling, not so many tourist, many residents, in the cafes and at the market, which is nice. The prices are not expensive, we enjoyed morning coffee in the market hall just five minutes to walk with all the local people around . The fresh market in the Fort Pienc Market hall has very good products, very good fresh fish! There is a fantastic ice cream bar "Micheles" just around the corner!
Walking to the beach via Arc de Triomph and the El Born Quarter with all the nice restaurants, bars and artistic shops was great. It took 25-30 minutes, but we did it nearly every day. The seaside was wonderfull, the water warm and clean, we went for a swim several times, the kids playing Volleyball at the beach every evening. Good contrast to all the museums and sightseeing durin daytime. Taking the metro was very easy and relaxed, we recommend the 10times ticket. Picasso Museum was our favourite and Sagrada Familia is a Must and only 10 min to walk from the flat!
Last not least: My son enjoyed the football matches on the court behind the building we lived in and we met the nice neighbours in the building helping us to open our bottles of wine, when the opener in the flat got distorted!
I`sure there will be a new one very soon, for Jordi answered all our questions immediately and helped along with good recommendations!
Thank you Jordi for the nice stay!
