Christian's place is very comfortable. We had 5 people in the apartment and fit very well. He was kind and provided us with beverages and cookies when we arrived. There is no AC so a little hot in the summer but he had plenty of fans and the big windows allowed for a cross breeze. We did taxi to most areas of interest, and the taxi service was a bit spotty later in the evening. It was a wonderful introduction to Barcelona, and we loved staying in a neighborhood instead of on hotel row.
