Such a great experience staying at Fernando's place! It is a beautiful apartment that is in a great location. It is walkable to many places on our list to visit and is a short walk to the Verdaguer Station, which we used often to get to our more distant destinations. There is even a bike share station nearby that is easily accessible to many bike lanes that Barcelona has. There are many places to eat nearby and a large market hall a few blocks away. The location also makes one feel at home since it is in an area that one feels more like a local than amongst the tourists.
The apartment itself was clean and nicely appointed. We loved the tile floor and the furniture was comfortable. It was quiet and had a nice view, especially to watch the street life of Barcelona. The kitchen had the appliances that we needed to make coffee and have breakfast in house and even provided a combo washer/dryer if we need it. It was a cozy place to stay and as close to a homey feeling as one can get.
We definitely would recommend it to friends and family and may even book it again next year as we want to come back to Barcelona every year.
