My friend and I had a great stay in Xavier’s apartment. It was very quiet over the weekend we were there. We had two wonderful meals at restaurants on Carrer de Verdi which was a short walkable distance from the apartment, albeit the return walk was up hill as I suffer from mild mobility issues. So be aware that parts of Garcia are on the side of a hill. The apartment was compact but perfectly formed with all the necessary equipment you might require in place. The charming Maria greeted us and showed us how everything worked and where things were. This is is so important having stayed recently in a Lisbon at a place, via another rental platform, where no one greeted us and no instructions were left. Just understanding the recycling rules in each city is an important issue and Maria explained these well. Supermarkets and pharmacies were really close by. The outdoor terrace was an added bonus. Overall would recommend for two - 3 people sharing.
