Off the plane and on to the Airbus, straight to Placa de Catalunya for E6.75 each. Buses every ten minutes. From the bus stop to the apartment was a 13 minute walk downhill. Couldn't have been easier. We were given explicit directions on where to arrive and when and which bell to press. Perfect! The host was extremely helpful, we had everything we wanted straight away with a minimum of fuss. The apartment was ideally placed, just 30 minutes walk from La Pedrera, 40 from Sagrada Familia, 10 from the park and the Zoo and 15 from the beach. Don't use the Metro, you miss so much! Around are so many amazing little shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants. It was an amazing place to stay and we highly reccomend it!
