Ferran's place is in a GREAT location! He gave us a warm welcome and was quick to respond to communications. Almost everything we did was within a 20 minute walk and it was super easy to pick up the green line metro at Paral-lel, a 5 minute walk. There are numerous grocery stores and convenience stores nearby. Carrer de Blai, a great street for local tapas, is also a 5 minute walk away. The apartment is very comfortable - good beds, a good shower, the basics for cooking, and a washer if you need to do laundry. We would stay here again in a heartbeat when we return to Barcelona!
