Jordi's place is great. It is very well equipped (kitchen implements, hair dryer, soap, toilet paper, etc.) and in a lovely section of town. My husband and I walked every day to tourist destinations so all was handy, but we were happy to be in an area that is not so congested as the Gothic quarter or the Ramblas. The view out the windows was beautiful. In the morning you wake up to look out the window and see beautiful green tree tops -- belying the fact that you are in the middle of a big city. The area is mostly residential but there are lots of tapas and other restaurants and markets nearby so that you can easily eat out or cook in. We highly recommend this apartment and would stay there again if our travels take us back to Barcelona.
