We rented Jordi's place for an entire week. It was perfect for our needs. The location was great. It's on a very quiet side street. There's a lot of foot traffic nearby during the day because it's so close to the Parc Guell, but we never heard any noise from the street while inside. Very relaxing. It's a very easy walk to two different metro stations, one to the east and one to the west, the closest being Lesseps. The metro will take you to all the sights in Barcelona but don't forget to explore Gracia. A short 10-minute walk to the south will bring you into a very lively section of the neighborhood with tons of bars, restaurants and open plazas.

The house has an amazing, sunny terrace up on the roof and a nice shady courtyard in the front. The bathrooms are well appointed. The kitchen was great and had a very large refrigerator that my fellow Americans will appreciate... We had a Nespresso machine that was critical for getting our eyes open in the morning. All the rooms were nice. The two downstairs are small compared to the massive bedroom upstairs. We had one adult in each downstairs bedroom, who shared a bathroom, and one couple upstairs in the larger room with a private bath. There's also laundry, which is great for a longer stay.

Jordi was a perfect host. He introduced me to some great beer and provided us a list of restaurants, which was super helpful. His assistant/friend Isabel was also very helpful. Feedback was very fast and they helped right away anytime we faced an issue. I hope to come back to Barcelona soon and I'll definitely stay here again when I do.
