A fantastic location for a family. Great bakers behind the block (Palmier) and would recommend Granja Petitbo cafe/restaurant (granjapetitbo.com), Morro Fi bars and the Coconut club by the beach.
A spacious flat which is extremely clean and well appointed. Maria is an excellent host in what is a super city to explore. As she says, make sure that you book tickets for the main attractions, particularly Gaudi.
