Oh, man. The photos of Diego's apartment simply do not do it justice. Diego is a master craftsman--the entire place has been meticulously decorated with wood and tile, and there are many hidden comforts. Special windows, for example, block ALL light and sound, if you need them to: you can enjoy being directly on top of a real Barcelona square and still get to sleep! The neighborhood is also fantastic--it's a brief walk to the famous Quimet & Quimet tapas bar (you MUST go), and we loved the beer bar around the corner that Diego recommended, too. Diego was a wonderful and communicative host (we coordinated check-in through a friend of his, but she was also very hospitable and the whole process was super easy). Highly recommended!
