The place was terrific. It was located in a charming neighborhood with plenty of convenient restaurants and shopping on a beautiful square. It was quiet with windows closed and lively if desired. It was a real neighborhood (not touristy) which is what we wanted. The location was perfect to access major attractions. We walked to Park Guell, La Sagrada Familia and every other neighborhood. One could easily access the subway and taxis - we just enjoyed strolling. Javier had excellent communication, was friendly and easy to work with and helped us with transportation. There were plenty of maps and books in the flat about Barcelona and Spain that we borrowed during our stay so that was very helpful. Wifi was very reliable. The flat was much larger than it looks in pictures, very clean and authentic. We would definitely stay there again.
