Charly was a really great host, i didn't meet him personally but he was ready to answer all my questions quickly and nevertheless made me feel welcome. The flat was smaller than anticipated and the bar on the other side of the road was pretty noisy in the evenings. I didn't mind the way into the city, the metro is pretty cheap and fast and Barcelona was great! I wouldn't recommend this appartement for a group of friends because everything is pretty close together and everybody can hear everything that's going on in the bathroom for example.
