Manuel's place is just as described; clean, comfortable and well situated. The metro, Gracia Station, is just a ten minute walk up the street (go left after exiting the apartment) and two stops to Placa Catalunya, where most city walking tours begin. Just down the street in the opposite direction are excellent markets and bakeries, all within a five minute walk of the apartment. Neighbors in the area were very helpful with giving directions. This is a lovely apartment for a couple or small family.
