Manuel's apartment was exactly what we wanted! It was warm, clean, had a beautiful little terrace, and was in a great, safe neighborhood. The apartment was also in a great location: it was a quick walk to public transportation and a nice stroll to downtown. Manuel himself was gracious and very happy to wait on us when we arrived over an hour late and was more than willing to answer some quick questions when we caught him in the landing the next day. I would absolutely stay here again if we get the chance to come back to Barcelona.
