Enric and Packo were lovely. They gave me very good instructions on how to get to their place via the metro as arrived by train. It's only 4 or 5 stops from Sants Station on a direct line. The apartment looked as it did in the advertisement. The bed was very comfortable and they provided quite a few 'extras' such as an umbrella, some snacky foods, etc. The neighbourhood's big draw is Sagrada Familia, which is about a 3 minute walk away. There is a grocery store on the same street as the apartment and many restaurants close by. The really good thing although it is quite busy during the day with the cathedral, it really gets quiet at night so the restaurants had lots of available tables (three good restaurants nearby - Hollyburg - re-imagined hollywood movies in burger form - delish! I had the Corleone, Singular more of a Spanish fusion and slightly fancy - they have communal tables so a good way to meet others if you are traveling alone, and Pizza Emporio right across from Sagrada Familia - really nummy flat bread pizzas - the Padrino was delicious.) Although this may be different if you were coming in high tourist season (I was not). On check-out Enric came to meet me to get the key and, as I was leaving quite early in the morning, helped with my luggage and walked with me to make sure that I was able to find a cab to take me to the airport. Although the apartment is away from the other popular tourist sites, it is very convenient to reach everything by metro as there are two lines that run through Sagrada Familia stop. For instance you can catch the L2 and it will take you straight to Paral-lel which is the stop for the funicular to Montjuic. I would recommend staying with Enric and Packo. My only things to be mindful of would be - it's a 4th floor walk up and although that's a plus because there's a pretty good view of Sagrada Familia from your bed no less, if you had bad knees etc. you would not enjoy the trip up and down every day. As well, I am really short so the low roof in the bedroom wasn't really an issue for me. I still had to hunch over to get to the bed but I wasn't going to sit up quickly in bed and knock myself out either. They do have a futon on the main floor though - but the bed in the loft is really comfy!
