My friend and I spent a week in Barcelona and we were lucky to stay at Heleen and Rodrigo's apartment. It was clean, bright, and had such a lovely balcony! It was about a 15 minute walk from the center of the city, which we loved because we got to spend time away from all the tourists. There was a block right nearby with tons of restaurants that had delicious food and was filled with locals (so you knew it'd be good). We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
