We had a great time staying in the apartment of Isidre. He is a very accommodating and good host. The apartment has been newly renovated and everything was nice and tidy. The layout of the apartment is great and the bedrooms really nice with their own French balconies. Beds good for Spain and even if I'm a heavy guy I had a great sleep. The bathroom is very nice, don't forget to use the fan/heater over the door to clear out the humidity after showering. The diner-living room is equipped with a good sturdy dining table and a sofa bed made for chilling (according to my kids). The kitchen is very well equipped including a microwave oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Isidre provided a few complimentary things and there is a cupboard with condiments so no need to stock up. But there are tons of restaurants in the neighborhood so no need to cook but nice to prepare breakfast and snacks. There are at least a bakery on every block but we recommend the bakery Forn Sant Honorat two steps down the street and don't dare to leave Barcelona without trying out their chocolate/Nutella filled pastries.
