Our long weekend away was fantastic, it was a time for me, my sister and mum to have some quality time. We were met by Santi the taxi driver at the airport which Vivianne had kindly arranged as we had such a maniac morning we just didn't want the hassle of public transport. The journey was only 20 minutes and cost only 35 euros. When we arrived at the apartment, it was exactly how the picture were shown online. Ricardo and Vivianne showed us around, but then we were gutted as we somehow how misread the ad and didn't realise it was a home share. This we didn't like. Having said that we had to make the most of it. Ricardo and Vivianne are involved as much as you like or give you as much privacy as you like. Both are very accommodating couple and fantastic hosts. We couldn't relax, but that had no reflection on the hosts at all, but I shall never forgot the kindness on looking after my mum when it all got to much for her and my self and my sister were able to still go out. The breakfast on a sunday morning was so lovely and very much felt home from home.
The flat it self is in quite a nosy location, but not so much to put one off of booking. Its opposite a supermarket which is fantastic and has everything from fresh bread, meats olives etc... The market is open week days and the supermarket till 9pm, but entrance on the other side as we thought it was closed. There are 2 train stations near by and very easy to understand and get around on. All you need in the purple L2 and the yellow line to get into ramblas. To get around all you need in a T10 ticket at the station and you can use it up to 11 times for 10 euros, no matter what you use or how ever many journeys over you weekend. We only needed to buy this 3 times and saw whole of Barcelona with it.
