Manuel was very helpful and easy to contact with, great host indeed. Checkin experience was great and he was always available for questions and tips. As for the place, the highlight is the location, very well located in the heart of Barcelona, beautiful neighbourhood and close to great pubs, restaurants and super markets. Also close to the Cathedral and the Rambla.
Only caveat, but it is not a problem with the apartment itself, is that it is a noisy area, bohemians walking around, singing and making noise at night, especially on the weekends. But it is kind of what you get if you want to be in the heart of the city. Just be aware and think if that’s what you are looking for. I enjoyed the experience myself.
