Garcia is a great neighbourhood close to the Metro (only a few stops into Placa Catalunya) with a relaxed, friendly feel about it. We loved coming home after a hot and busy day sightseeing to the peace and quiet of our apartment. (Having said that there was a jackhammer going throughout the last day below on the footpath but that can't be helped.) We didn't meet Pablo or Franziska but Ivan met us at the apartment and gave us lots of local tips. He even got back to us with addresses of medical centres when our friend got sick. Thanks Ivan!) Overall the apartment is perfect for four people. It's light and airy with a good flow of air, essential on hot days in August. I would have given it 4 stars but it wasn't very clean in some parts. I think it could do with a thorough clean and then it would be perfect.
