our group of 6 people stayed in manuel's apartment for 6 days during our trip to barcelona in september 2014. it offers enough room and especially the two bathrooms are helpful for travelling in a bigger group. the apartment itself is located in a nice and quiet location a bit outside of all the touristic hotspots. to plaza de catalunya it's a 15 minute walk and the subway is just 2 minutes away from the apartment. the beach is about a 15-20 minute ride with the subway. the conversation with manuel was very easy and he gave us a lot of information in advance. he also answered quickly. we had a really good time here in barcelona and enjoyed our stay in manuel's apartment. we can definitely recommand this place.
