We really enjoyed our stay at Francisco's apartment. The location in the El Born neighborhood is perfect, close to everything including a metro stop that gives easy access to all of Barcelona. Also just minutes to the Gothic Quarter. The neighborhood is lively during the day but quite late at night in the immediate vicinity, we even slept with the windows open. The apartment is spacious with everything you need. Francisco stocked the kitchen with several options for breakfast including bread, yogurt, juice, fruit and coffee. He even provided a bottle of wine. More than one couple would have to be okay with close quarters as the two sleeping areas are only separated by a doorway with a curtain for privacy. It was perfect for us though with plenty of room to lounge and plan our days while sipping wine. There is also a washer if you need to do laundry. Do be prepared for the four flights of stairs coming and going. Francisco met us upon arrival and helped carry our luggage up and even offered to come early on our departure to help again. He was a very good communicator and checked in several times to see if we needed anything, but really there was never anything that we needed. Thanks Francisco!
