We stayed at James' place for four nights on December. The best thing about the flat is its wonderful location: 1 minute walk from plasa catalunya, with many good bars and restaurants in a walking distance. Most of the attractions are in a walking distance too, and the public transportation is also very accessible. The apartment is on the 5th floor (with elevator) so we weren't bothered from the noise at all. The apartment itself is a bit smaller than seen in the pictures, but it was more than enough for the 3 of us. James was very nice and allowes us to stay a bit longer on our last day because there was no guest coming in. Overall it was a lovely apartment :)
