We had a great experience. Mom and son trip. We felt safe. Many of the things we wanted to see were at walkable distance. Metro was five min, taxis across the street.McDonals right next to us, Starbucks less than 5 min, subway across the street and many more options. I had my doubts because many people warned me about pick pockets at the Rambla st but I felt safe. I had my phone on a lane yard, my purse shoulder cross. The people at the check in and che out were friendly, and they helped with directions. All around my son and I had a good experience.
