This flat is in a great location. Right in the heart of many shops and restaurants/cafes. Only a 30 minute walk to the beach and La Sagrada Familia. Never actually met Soler (Roger) but his parents were extremely nice. They speak very little English so unfortunately we did not get to converse with them about Barcelona but the hospitality they showed was exceptional. You may come and go as you please without any bother from the hosts. If you need a place to stay in a lively part of Barcelona on a budget, I definitely recommend this flat.
