Francesco's flat is on the top floor of a 10 story building in a relatively quiet neighborhood near Ciutedella Park. There is a beautiful straight on view from the deck of Sagrada Familia and a clear view of the Mediterranean out the kitchen window on the other side of the apartment. In the evening, the deck faces the sunset. There are often gentle breezes.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. There are two air conditioners that are quiet and effective. The bathroom is quite nice with a functional shower. The kitchenette module turned out to be much more usable than I thought it would be when I first looked at the website. We did not spend excessive time preparing or cleaning up after meals. There were no issues with building access or security during our stay. The neighbors were nice and considerate. The neighborhood was also pleasant.

Francesco gave helpful and accurate advice on how to get to the flat. He was there to warmly greet us and help us with our luggage. His orientation to the apartment was informative and complete. He was always available via WhatsApp and telephone. He provided helpful advice regarding tourist sites, neighborhood stores, and bicycle rentals.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends and family who want to experience Barcelona. This experience gives the visitor a better sense of real life and culture in a neighborhood in Barcelona than staying in a hotel room would offer.
