Francois and Marite were terrific in offering help and tips when my wife spent her first three days in Barcelona in bed, quite sick. Their apartment was a lovely place to hang out and heal—stylish, spotlessly clean, well outfitted with carefully chosen objects. The street life below is lively, so if you want to participate all night, crack the balcony doors. Otherwise, you’ll need to close up tight and use the fan/AC. Great spot !
