how to get to the apartment
You can get to the apartment by AEROBUS+SUBWAY (is a little bit tiring, especially at late afternoon/night):
From the airport’s exit (T1 or T2) you take the bus named AEROBUS (leaving every 5 minutes - you can buy a ticket IDA Y VUELTA it costs 10,20 € to each person, so you can use it at the return also - up to 15 days after purchasing, a single ticket costs 5,90 € you can buy tickets on the bus or here: http://www.aerobusbcn.com/en/buy-tickets) you get off at (30 minutes) PLAÇA CATALUNYA and from there ask where the metro PLAÇA CATALUNYA is, so you walk until there (it’s located where LAS RAMBLAS start), buy the ticket and get the green line L3 direction TRINITAT NOVA and you get off at LESSEPS (other 15 minutes with all the lugagges). And from there in 7 minutes you get to the apartment (you can check the map on the next page). My advice is that you buy at least a 10 ticket metro trips because it’s cheaper.
You can start comparing prices here:

From 2 to 5 day metro card: http://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-travel-card

ONLY CONSIDER 1 ZONE, because is the City of Barcelona’s area
And these types of tickets, the others are just for residents or not working for your case.
T-10 = 10 trips (more than one person can use it, family members for example) (10,30 €) IF YOU MOVE A LOT BY SUBWAY IS NOT WORTH IT
T-70, 30 days = 70 trips in 1 month (more than one person can use it, family members for example) (59,50 €)
Monday - Thursday: 5:00 am - 00:00 h/ Friday: 5:00 am- 2:00 am/ Saturday: 05:00 am- ALL NIGHT LONG

Just in case you take a taxi that doesn’t work for us you have to say to the taxi driver (so you make sure he goes exactly where he is supposed to):
“POR FAVOR LLEGUE A GRAN DE GRÀCIA Y SUBA HASTA LLEGAR AL CARRER de MAURICI SERRAHIMA DONDE GIRA A LA DERECHA, LLEGANDO A TORRENT DEL OLLA TOME LA PRIMERA CALLE A LA IZQUIERDA (CARRER BELLVER) Y TODO RECTO HASTA LLEGAR A PLAÇA DEL NORD.
