This place was exactly as described. It’s right at the heart of the City, and a stones throw from the metro which serves 3 or 4 lines. We bought a tourist metro card for £8 euros for 10 trips.. we were there for 5 days and didn’t use all of the tickets. The City is smaller than I imagined, and we were able to walk back from Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. Would recommend getting g to Parc Guell as early as possible for the best photos. Comms with the host were excellent, and we’d recommend this apartment 100%.
