we spent a week at pepe's apt. lucia met us and showed us around. it is large, comfortable and very clean. the bed was firm and the shower had great water pressure. the apt is situated in a neighborhood a little outside the center, but is well connected by metro, bus and tram. it's quiet at night for a good night's sleep, and has one of the best restaurants in barcelona nearby, called ramblera, that serves large, gorgeous tapas. a bit pricey, but worth the price.

our only complaint was that we were there during a heatwave, but that had nothing to do with the apt. if you're looking for a place to get a slice of life, away from the tourists, pepe's place is perfect, and a good value as well. highly recommended!

thank you pepe and lucia for a lovely stay!
