We were pleased with how quickly Nuria responded to us especially as we had been let down by a different host the day before we were due to travel. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. It faces inwards rather than on to the main road. This means it is quiet and has great views over the harbour & Montjuic from the balcony.
It is a great location being only 2 minutes from the nearest Metro station (Parallel) which is also the station for the funicular up Montjuic. It is about 5 minutes from the bottom of Las Ramblas giving easy access to Barri Gotic and the harbour.
Lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance. One of our favourite restaurants for the evening is El Gran Cafe on Carrer d'Avinyo which has a resident pianist. For Tapas we like Xiloka (only a few streets away) and Palosanto in Placa George Orwell.
