I would recommend staying in Raimundo's apartment to anyone visiting Barcelona (unless you are elderly as there are a lot of stairs)! We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect, near lots of restaurants and in walking distance from the Ramblas without actually being in the hectic touristy area.

On our arrival Raimundo came to meet us in a cafe whilst the apartment was being cleaned. He was very friendly and went through in detail with a map of all the places we asked about including bike hire and bike routes around the city which was very helpful.

The apartment was lovely and very sunny (as in the pictures). Despite Raimundo warning us when he showed us around, we managed to lock ourselves out of the studio within in an hour of being there. As it was a bank holiday Raimundo had to call out the emergency locksmith- despite the drama, he was really nice about it! Great location, great host, great apartment. 10/10
