Living with Rakel was a great experience! The apartment is cosy and you will find everything you need very close. There is a supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, butchery and fish shop in a 5 minutes walk. Also the metro station is only a few minutes walk and will bring you to the center of Barcelona in no time (4 stops). The area is very quiet, but still there is a lot to do and see. I warmly recommend this place!
