The location of the flat for myself and my wife is in a fantastic location within the Gothic Quarter. This was one of my favourite areas as there are plenty of bars and restaurants all tucked away in a Warren of backstreets. The staff at Deco were very helpful allowing us to drop off our bags earlier in the office just around the corner. Taxi was arranged for €40 a single trip to the airport on out way back which is a little cheaper what we paid making our own way at arrivals. Sensi Tapas a 10 minute walk is the best in town, go to the La Sagrad Church the architecture is mind blowing (book a timeslot online beforehand) A trip to the Nou Camp is a must try to catch a game! THe W hotel and the restraunts at the foot of the hotel are also worth a visit as the beach/quay and walkway along its path is a great stroll. Guell Gardens is also a must visit to see the city scape from the mountains, there is a train station at the bottom of the Ramblas Desmeres and get off at Lasseps it's a single line and about 10-15 minutes (single trip cost about €3 per person) it is by far the most economic way to get to the park. Again book tickets for the park (time slot) online I would say leave yourself 1hour to travel direct from apartment (15 minute walk to station)/(15 minute rain side)/(15 minutes other side to walk from Lasseps to the park). Not a negative on the apartment as it is beautiful and quiet. However, we were on the top floor (4th floor) if you are an OAP and have restricted mobility the winding stairs may be difficult to navigate!! An amazing experience and the Deco Team and flats location certainly made the visit what it was! Barcelona is a little expensive so if you are on an budget there is an Aldi supermarket just around the corner. The veranda at the top of the building is shared and rarely used by the looks of it, if you did want to stay in and cook one evening I'm sure the upper area would be a nice little spot if on a budget!
