This is a fantastic location. It really is walking distance to Plaza Catalan, the Arc de Triumph, and La Rambla is really close. We even walked down to the port area and up to Sagrada Familia.
There is a comfortable living room for relaxing in between sight seeing. We made coffee and toast in the kitchen every morning, and prepared sandwiches for days we needed them.
We loved the exercise we got climbing the stairs to her third floor apartment.
I would definitely recommend Monica’s place.
