Location & Accessibility

The coliving offers a hilltop retreat that is surprisingly well-connected. While the walk up from the metro provides a workout, it ensures easy access to central Barcelona and the charming Gracia district.

Public Transport

A metro station is approximately a 10-minute walk away, providing a 15-20 minute ride to the city center (Plaça Catalunya). Good bus connections are also available.

Car Considerations

Parking is available at the villa for those renting a car. A car is not necessary for daily life due to good public transport, but residents sometimes share rentals for weekend trips.

Walkability

The area is very walkable for local errands, with supermarkets and cafes a short walk away. The main challenge is the hill leading to the villa, which can be steep on the return trip. Taxis and ride-sharing are readily available.

Key Distances

Approximately 10-minute walk to metro, 15-20 minute metro ride to central Barcelona, 20-minute walk to the heart of Gracia district, and very close to Park Güell.

Challenges & Tips

The property is situated on a hill, so returning from the metro or city center involves an uphill walk. This provides great views and exercise but may be challenging for some. Planning grocery trips or using delivery apps can help manage the incline.
