The stay began with an easy late Check-In done by his daughter, who was really kind and took her time to explain anything to us and also gave us nice recommendations. :)
The communication with Manuel has been easy and fast both before and during our stay. The flats location is great! Everything is in walking distance (also enough possibilities to access the public transportation).
There were also some downsides: AC was not working at all (which is a crucial point with Barcelona’s heat!) but Manuel tried his best and send a technician - who could not repair it, but at least Manuel tried and reacted instant. The flat has been stylish and tidy except of the bathroom and kitchen, which were really small and not properly cleaned: dishes and cutlery were greasy and dirty, towels still wet and smelly; mind that there are steps in the bathroom which made it hard.
Overall I would still recommend staying at Manuel’s accommodation. We had a great time and felt really home in the bed-; living room and on the balcony. :)
