Joaquin's place is in a really ideal location for walking in and around Barcelona. We were able to get to most of the main attractions by foot, transit or bus. The apartment, while cozy, is considered an 'entresol', so if you are looking for a place with a nice view of Barcelona, you may wish to look elsewhere, but for all functional and practical intents and purposes, this place offers ideal value for money and communicative, gracious hosts who were very helpful and accommodating to us in our travels!
