Manuel is an amazing host and this apartment is everything you can ask for. It is in an excellent location, 10 minutes walking to Sagrada Família, 20 minutes to city center, metro station is 10 feet from the apartment, close to two major boulevards. Lots of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets in the neighborhood. The apartment has plenty of space and supplies, very clean and nicely decorated . We also love the neighbor, safe and quite. Manuel provided lots of local maps, city guides, and sightseeing information pamphlets in the apartment which is super helpful. Most importantly, Manuel is an excellent host. I communicated with him numerous times prior to the trip for advices on shows and places to visit. He was always responsive and provided helpful advices. We got off the ship early. He met us at the apartment at 10 am to let us in since the apartment was available. We can not thank him for so accommodating. He also order the taxi for us to go to the airport on the last day. He relived a lot of my stress and worries before and during the visit since we feel we have a good friend who will help us when we need it. My family and I had a grand time at Barcelona. I have to say Manuel and the nice apartment contributes to the great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona.
