Manuel's rooftop studio apartment was everything we could've asked for during our first trip to Barcelona. The terrace was absolutely beautiful and provided a great place to relax during our down times. The apartment is located in a quiet, easily accessible neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. A 10 euro cab ride gets you pretty much anywhere you want to go in the city and after filling our stomachs with delicious food each night, it was nice to take a leisurely stroll back to the terrace. Manuel was always available and extremely communicative during our stay. The only quirk, as others mentioned, is the service elevator that accesses the roof is quite small (which seems to be the case in many Barcelona buildings). However, it was easy to deal with as soon as we used it a few times. We stayed a full week and would stay here again next time we return.
