Andreas apartment is perfectly located if you want to get fast everywhere you want but not to stay in the hustle and bustle. I stayed there 8 nights with my boyfriend and we had a great time! We really liked the location. There are really good restaurants in a walking distance. Trust me the restaurants (for example which are near Hostafrancs, walking distance 6min) are muuuuch better then the ones in the touristic areas. The flat was verrrrryyyy clean. Although there are living the beautiful cats Minnie&Micky I have never found some cat hair. The only part which is really dirty is the stairway but for me it isnt a problem as long as the apartment is clean. The bed is a little bit hard but after a long day of sightseeing you won’t mind. In general the room was perfect for us. There is no better host than Andrea, the room is cozy, bathroom is excellent and the location is great! The flat is situated in the district Sants, where you can find anything you need shopping centers, supermarkets, good public transportation, restaurants,.... In about 5-10min walking (depending on your walking tempo) you can get to Metro Station Plaza Espanya or Hostafrancs easily. From Hostafrancs & Plaza Espanya you can take the L1 in direction Fondo to get to the City Centre (las Ramblas, Sagrada familia, bari Gòtic, ...). From Plaza Espanya you can also take L3 in direction Trinitat Nova to get near Montjuic, the Marina and Barceloneta.
I hope we will see you again Andrea,Minni & Micky!
