Where can you find an owner who hangs out your laundry for you? We had problem with the washer but Cesc came and fixed it and hung up the laundry since we were out. Awesome. He is also helpful throughout the whole process of booking and during our stay.
The apartment is within walking distance to La Sagrada Familia, but nested in a quiet neighbourhood. A very good grocery store just down the street, selling everything you need and good quality jamon one-third the price of those in the touristy area. Metro and buses are also right there. My son also get to practise his Spanish with the friendly abuela next door. ; )
