We loved staying here! It's in a fun part of town- just a few blocks from the Ramblas with great restaurants nearby.

Manel was extremely helpful both before, and when we arrived. He is also very friendly, and fun to talk to.

I had seen on other reviews that the shower leaks on the floor- that's true, but it's not a big deal. It's one of the prices you pay for staying in a historic part of town. There is a mop next to the bathroom, and we would just run it over the floor after a shower, and it would dry right away. The bathroom is small for American tastes, but if you're used to Europe, you'll be just fine.

Other than that, the apartment is very spacious with great storage and a lot of light. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room after a long day of sightseeing.

This place is a great value for the heart of Barcelona, and I recommend staying here if you're looking to feel like a local.
