David's place worked for what I was looking for, which was a quiet and spacious apartment with comfortable beds, AC and easy access to the metro and areas of interest for my friend and me. David was good with communication answering all my questions in a timely fashion and also allowed me to have a later check out on my last day.

The apartment is eclectic to say the least. The decorations are kind of like animal kingdom meets spice girls. I thought it was fun for a few days.

The only issue we had was in the bathroom when the sink and shower both were stopped up. The sink is very little so it overflowed when we first used it. However, David had a bottle of Drano in the kitchen and that fixed the issue. The bathroom is quite small but that's typical of places in Europe. Also, I could not get the pod coffee maker to work correctly, but I had instant coffee with me so it was not an issue.

There were no recommendations for food options and there is not too much around in the neighborhood honestly, but we did find a few grocery stores close by and also an amazing Italian restaurant. If you walk out the door and go to the left, then at the first street make a right it will be across the street. Ristorante Meraviglioso. So good and the owners are so nice. Go there!

In addition to the subway being like a 3 minute walk, the apartment is basically a $10 cab ride to the apartment from any where you might go out in the city, which is great. I stayed elsewhere my last night in Barcelona and found that place to be super noisy with construction (and I hear from friends that is often the case) so I definitely recommend David's place for friends or a family looking to stay in a quiet neighborhood in Barcelona.
