Pere's apartment is in a nice neighborhood with a 5-minute walk to the Muntaner Metro stop. We appreciated that the apartment was NOT facing the street, so the bedrooms were very quiet (except for Saturday night when someone in the building was having a late party). The bedding was extremely comfortable and the heating was nicely done, with a combination of radiators and a mini-split. Bath towels were large and extras provided. Although the kitchen was snug, it was very well-equipped. The clothes washer worked flawlessly (Pere has the operator's manual in several languages; if you should run short on hot water, check to see if the tank is set to ECO or at a low temp).
Self check-in was a breeze with clear instructions to the PRIMERO or second floor, as there is also an apartment labeled "#4" on the first floor). We enjoyed having an electronic door lock and no keys to carry.
We strongly recommend Silvestre Restaurant (favored by locals, so reservations smart).
