Roger's appartment is a comfortable place in an authentic neighbourhood in Barcelona. At first sight the appartment building doesn't make a very attractive impression, but on a further sight our opinion totally changed. You rent a flat in an authentic building with bars and shops on the ground floor. The appartment is comfortable and gives you everything you need. You are just outside the buzziness of Barcelona centre, but this neighbourhood is calmer yet lively. Public transport (tram, bus) is in front of the building on the famous Avenue de Diagonal. Metro is just around the corner and gets you in 5-6 stops in the centre of Barcelona. In front of the building there is a large parking lot (free). This is an upcoming neighbourhood, which you notice on the new shopping mall and the fancy hotels and buildings that are popping up. The seaside is just a 10 minute walk away, which is a great advantage if you visit Barcelona with young children in summer time like we did. There are a couple of nice lounge bars/restaurants on the beach. Roger is a friendly host who gives you all the information you need and tries to help to make your stay nice and easy. I would certainly recommand this appartment if you are looking for an authentic stay in Barcelona and wish to combine visiting the city centre and the major attractions with calmer moments, for instance a stay on the beach on hot summer evenings.
