Rachid's apartment was fantastic and made us feel like locals in Barcelona. Check-in was great with his friend Jadisa who took us for coffee and also helped to organise taxi's when we needed them. The location is perfect - close to the action but had a local feel which was nice after a big day of sight seeing. It is also very close to great restaurants including Quimet & Quimet which was fantastic. The only draw backs were the flights of stairs (only with heavy luggage really - otherwise wasn't an issue) and we found the bed to be a little uncomfortable with a waterproof sheet. Otherwise it was a brilliant apartment!
