Andrei's place was the perfect location for us to stay at for our first trip to Barcelona. There were great places to eat and drink at right around the corner or just a few blocks away, but the immediate area was nice and quiet when we wanted to nap or turn in for the night. The metro was a shot 5-10 min walk away and there were quite a few places we wanted to see that were only about a 30 min walk as well. By the end of our stay we started to feel like locals and fell in love with the neighborhood. We will definitely be back!
