We had a experience, and felt very safe here at Maria & Oscar’s apartment. We were 4-5 blocks away from the Sagrada Família, 8-9 blocks away from the Rambla, and metro stations were two and three blocks away in either direction. Taxi is about €34 to and from the airport. Or you could take the train into Barcelona and take a taxi from there and save a little, if your on a budget. The apartment is simple and perfect, just as the pictures show! Clean, great bed, and great shower pressure! Thank you Oscar & Maria for a great stay!
