My wife, her sister and myself stayed three days in this compact but well-appointed first floor apartment close to the Sagrada Familia. However, it was just far enough away so that we were untroubled by the large crowds of tourists infesting the local area around the ecclesiastical tourism icon.
Mari was a wonderful friendly and informative host who made us completely at home.
We were taking a short break between bus tours of Spain and then Morocco.
The apartment is just off the diagonal pedestrian mall that runs between this Sagrada F and the Gaudi inspired modernist hospital that is also a Barcelona must see. This area is full of restaurants, bars and shops, so it is a great area to stay in. It is also close to the Metro and also the hop on, hop off bus, which is a bit expensive but of great value for fly in-fly out tourists such as we were.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and fully recommend the host and the apartment.
