Famous for its art, architecture and of course football; Barcelona has something to suit everyone.You can go for a walk along La Ramblas, to enjoy the street musicians and live statues. Or if you wish to take in some of Barcelonas breathtaking sights why not take the tram Tramvia Blau up to the top of Tibidabo which is the tallest mountain amongst the Serra de Collserola.
Collserola Nature Park is located just outside Barcelona.The massive 1800 acre park is a great escape for city goers and a local favorite. Join up with our friendly local guides as we escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Barcelona and head into this nature paradise.
Can Simon is within the Barcelona city limits, yet is located in a residential area, behind the Tibidabo Amusement Park. It is very easy to travel to Barcelona from the house, which is 900 meters away from the metro station (nice 10 minutes walk). There is a tube services every 6 minutes and in just 15 minutes you reach downtown Barcelona with the famous Gothic Neighborhood or the Ramblas.
Although a private car is not indispensable, it is quite preferable to have one (no shopping or restaurants within walking distance).

We are not an agency. We are a Catalan-Belgian married couple with two teens letting the house right next door to ours. We both work and are rather busy but there will always be time to help you have a very pleasant, enjoyable stay in Barcelona. We speak English, French, Spanish and Catalan.
If you enjoy visiting a big city but like having a quiet evening now and then, this is a perfect place to stay. In just half an hour you're in the centre of Barcelona but once home, there's only peace and tranquility (except for an occasional concert given by the dogs in the neighbourhood). Emma is an excellent host, willing to provide you with every bit of information you're looking for. Everything you need is provided and the house was spotlessly clean upon arrival. A car is not really necessary but it does come in handy if only to do the groceries since the closest shop is still a brisk half hour walk. But other than that, we can thoroughly recommend this property.
We visited our daughter who lives in Gracia and we're struggling to find a last minute affordable place to stay, when we came across Can Simon. We expected it to be a trek to the city, but were pleasantly surprised by how easy and close it was. Literally fifteen minutes on the Metro to Placa de Catalonia. There is a ten minute up hill walk from the station, but it's so worth it. Can Simon is high up with beautiful views and feels like you're in the Pyrenees not minutes from the city. It's a compact, yet spacious little house, tasteful and welcoming with everything you need. My husband and I were really comfortable here and there was plenty of room when my daughter and partner came over. The family were lovely, we were picked up from the station on our first night as we arrived late, which was really kind. Make sure you take a few essential supplies as ithis is a residential area and there wasn't a shop nearby. We will be back, if only to see Moof, the family's gorgeous and friendly dog.
Quaint house on a hillside surrounded by trees in a suburb of Barcelona. Wonderful hostess/host that were willing to accommodate our travel times and provide information and are a pleasure to talk with! They care for the property like it's their own private residence. Felt like we were staying with family or friends. The house is close to the city, but away from the bustle - just a short walk and a short train ride to downtown. Large terrace and foosball table outside provided our small kids with entertainment and a pleasant place to eat an outdoor meal. Private entrance and parking space on the street. The small kitchen was adequately-equipped for simple meal preparation; some cooking utensils were well used and could be replaced. Beautifully tiled bathroom with tub (much appreciated for small children); bath towels are quite worn and blow dryer did not blow warm air. Living/dining area is cozy for conversation, with loveseat seating for two but at an awkward angle to the television. Table is large enough for a family of four. Good lighting in the house. Master bedroom is a large, open loft area with comfortable bed, dresser, and hanging clothing area. Pillows on the beds are quite thin, but blankets and sheets were in good condition. Overall a pleasant stay. Thank you!
Lovely home, beautiful surroundings, terrace. Everything you need was available. The owners were very kind. Guarded by cute dog;)
