Frabrice's apartment was centrally located within walking distance to Catalunya and many destinations in Barcelona. However, if you're not up to walking 1.2km, the bus and subway system is very convenient. There are convenience stores on every block and also a churro place about a block away.
The apartment was very spacious and I appreciated the balcony. It was clean and a washing machine was available, but clothes dry on a rack. The apartment was on the top floor of the building, and there was a tiny elevator to reach it. I opted to take the 161 stairs up and down to burn off the extra food I was consuming.
The only downside was that there was a foul smell that we couldn't locate near the kitchen. It was mild and opening the door to the balcony resolved that issue.
Barcelona was an amazing experience and Fabrice's apartment made the experience a memorable one. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
