Akela's place is centrally located in the Gothic Centre, a 10 min walk from placa catalunya which is the city centre bus stop, which is also where the aerobus from the airport stops. Also close to the sagrada familia and the tourist info centre (10 min walk). Close to fabulous restaurants and shopping streets as well. Akela is lovely and provided us with several suggestions on things to do and places to go to get the best out of our first time visiting Barcelona as there were several amenities available and the place was sparkling clean!
