The location for touring Barcelona is excellent. Quiet neighborhood, top floor in a quiet building, yet only one block to the metro, and walking distance to most of downtown Barcelona. The terrace is awesome - south-facing, with an awning. We spent hours out there just enjoying the spring evenings. The kitchen is well-appointed, and the washer/dryer in the apartment were great to have for a longer stay. Ricard is a great host - responding quickly to questions. Recommend!
