Stayed at the apartment for a week with a friend. Great place. Nice location -- not a crowded neighborhood, yet the lively El Born area is just a few blocks away. The apartment was in good condition and everything you need is within walking distance. The host couple were friendly -- Eduard gave us a quick briefing on the area on our arrival. We rented bikes for the week (50€) for quick access between the different neighborhoods and beaches. It seems like the best way to get around Barcelona.
