Javier was out of town so couldn't welcome us but he put in charge his lovely friend Mario who waited few hours more because of our flight was delayed and provided us with all necessary information instead. Javier left great Google maps for metro and nearest supermarkets, food and drinks in the fridge and plenty of towels, all of which I loved. The apartment is very spacious and light-filled and photos do it justice; it really is as shown in the photos. The Sants neighbourhood is wonderful and there you can really get the sense of Barcelona outside of the touristy centre. The place is close to 3 metro stations - Badal, Mercat Nou and Placa de Sants, all which connect you to all major sights in a very short while. Also, even closer are bus stations for bus lines D20 (connecting you to Barceloneta and also Avinguda Parallel and the lower end of La Rambla) and 50 (which you can use to go to La Sagrada Familia). There are plenty of affordable supermarkets, Lidl is right at the building entrance, also nearby Spar, Dia, Consum and Mercadona. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to all new visitors in a heart beat.
