Aurelien's flat is amazing- the shared space works out great- gives you a chance to meet other travelers and share experiences. The kitchen is great- Aurelien welcomes guests to use the oils, herbs and spices so it's easy to grab some great food at the famous La Boqueiria Market and bring it back and cook it up. The location is perfect if you want to be in the center of things, and yet the apartment is very quiet. We would definitely go back next time we're in Barcelona!
