We stayed in Barcelona for 5 nights in April. Beppe is a wonderful host, kindly meeting us from our (delayed) train and taking us to his apartment. The apartment itself is just as described and located on a very quiet street. The metro is very close and it's easy and quick to travel into the centre of Barcelona. This is not a tourist area, but very friendly with some lovely bars and cafés if you are prepared to explore a little off the beaten track. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.
