Carlos was very friendly and helpful, with lots of information in response to our questions about the neighborhood & Barcelona. The apartment was clean and quiet, in a nice neighborhood, near lots of bars, restaurants, and little groceries. There is a great little booklet in the apartment, too, with more info about the neighborhood & getting around. It's a very easy walk to the Sagrada Familia, and also walkable, or easy metro ride, to many other parts of the city. Highly recommended!
