Gonçalo’a place was fantastic! Very stylish apartment that had beautiful balconies with great views. The kitchen was beautiful and the couch was SO comfortable!! The TV was huge and made us want to stay in and watch Netflix everyday! Gonçalo was very quick with replying to messages and he was very accommodating. As for the area well there are some really amazing food places and bars as well within walking distance- but the apartment is also so close to the metro which takes you to the gothic quarter or las Ramblas or even Barceloneta in minutes. Your have your choice of wherever you want to go! We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much Gonçalo!!
