Mauro's place is perfect for anyone interested in getting a more authentic experience in Barcelona without sacrificing proximity to the top attractions. His neighborhood is beautiful with plenty of cafes and bars a stone's throw away. He also lives right next to several metro lines which makes getting around the city by public transit very easy. The bedroom was quite nice with plenty of storage space, and Mauro was a great host - he was prompt in responding to our every need, and even helped us do our laundry during our stay. Would stay here again and recommend!
