We had a great stay at the apartment. Francesco puts a lot of effort in making his guests feel comfortable. We arrived at the apartment after midnight and were welcomed by Francesco, who gave us a thorough introduction to the utilities of the apartment as well as some useful information about Barcelona.
The apartment is conveniently located. Metro stations are in 5-10 minutes walking distance, the beach can be reached on foot in 15 minutes, and Sagrada Familia in 30 minutes and grocery stores are around the corner. The view from the apartment is stunning as you have the view over the hills and Sagrada Familia and you also have a little bit of sea view on the other side. The apartment is well equipped and we were welcomed with a bottle of Cava in the fridge. In terms of cleanliness, we cannot give a top rating as the apartment was not super clean when we arrived. We were also asked to dispose of the garbage at the end of our stay, which we would of course not mind to do but considering that you already pay quite a high cleaning fee, we would expect this to be included in the fee.
