The apartment in Eixample was the perfect location for our (too!) short trip to Barcelona. We loved being able to walk out every morning and grab breakfast at one of many cafes in the neighborhood. The shopping wasn't too bad either! Manuel was a wonderful host. Only hiccup in our trip was that the boiler went out and we had cold water for a day or so. But it was addressed very quickly and we were comfortable for the remainder of our stay.
