this is a great, shared accomodation that holds everything you need. especially the terrace on the rooftop is amazing. the only thing missing is a good possibility to cook for yourself - you only share the microwave, espresso maker and kettle, but there is a fridge and everything for preparing a cold meal.
the metro is close by (80m) as are various (including organic) supermarkets. Gárcia is a wonderful neighborhood with many individual stores and great places to eat or go for a drink. it is possible to walk to many sights and into the center of Barcelona if you are a strong walker - we actually only took the metro once.
Álex is very welcoming and friendly, easy to communicate with and was very flexible concerning our check-out. we would definitely recommend this place!
