I really enjoyed my stay in Barcelona and in Manuel's apartment in San Gervasio. It is very clean and comfortable. I stayed in the bedroom facing the street, and I had no issues with noise at night. This is a very interesting and safe residential area, which was perfect for me as I visiting Barcelona for business reasons. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby, so you won't need for anything. Public transport is close and very convenient.

Manuel was a wonderful host, and he provided lots of helpful information about the area. He arranged for a driver to meet me at the airport and take me back, which was very convenient. I highly recommend staying here, and I hope to do just that when I return to Barcelona for a proper vacation!
