Can't ask for a better place to stay for a first time in Barcelona! Lots of stores and restaurants near by, Gothic Quarter adjacent, 15-20 min walk to the beach, close to Las Ramblas, and just a longer walk to Sagrada Familia. Parc Guell was about the longest away, but Uber makes it close. Great communication with host, we arrived early and accommodated our luggage until apartment was ready. Recommend and would stay here again.
