Accommodation and Transport

The first thing people will notice and realise when they start to look for accommodation is the prices of staying in this great city. In order to get a good price you either have to stay outside of the main city and travel via train everyday or use a service such as Housetrip apartments in Barcelona which offer excellent prices for places close to all the major attractions.
