Andrea's place was a great place to explore Barcelona. His wife met us to hand over the key and make sure that we were settled into the apartment. The apartment is close to public transportation making it super easy to explore. We were close to markets and restaurants making it a breeze for picking up a meal after a long day of sightseeing. We definitely would stay here again for our next trip to Barcelona.
Although not a problem for my wife and I, the building has no elevator. Those with mobility issues or a lot of luggage may want to consider the steep flights of stairs to reach the apartment.
