We really enjoyed our stay in Mariano's apartment, he was very nice and friendly, helped us with instructions to get to his place and gave us very useful tips about Barcelona. The apartment was clean and cosy, the bed was very comfortable and we had a small balcony with a view to Plaça Barceloneta which is very beautiful. The apartment is 5 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from El Born and gothic quarter, which is lovely because the place is full of life even at night. My favourite part was when Mariano left us umbrellas during the day with a rainy forecast, we found this very nice!!! All in all, I totally recommend his place :)
