The flat is in a great location and is cheap for 2 bedrooms. However, the photos do make the flat look bigger and nicer than it is. The decor and furniture are looking worse for wear and about a third of the balcony is taken up by the air conditioner. Reviews of the bedrooms being very hot are accurate as there is only air conditioning in the living room. On the other hand, I think all the above is taken into consideration... you get what you pay for. Manuel is a great host, very good communicator. I probably would splash out on a nicer flat on future visits to Barcelona but if you're looking for a cheap stay in a good location, this could be the place for you.
