We found this place after having to leave another near La Rambla because of unexpected construction noise. We were able to make the reservation immediately, as Jaume responded almost instantly to our inquiry.

The apartment is in pristine condition and completely modern, with all conveniences. The neighborhood is a regular, mixed business and residential neighborhood that isn't at all touristy, but is in walking distance of the Sant Antoine Market and many good restaurants that are also not touristy.

Jaume was responsive to any questions during our stay and all arrangements were very easy. They have a book with restaurant recommendations and other tips that are helpful, and one nearby cafe-restaurant, Reckons, had a tangy orange cake that I am still thinking about!
