I'm staying with Mody for ten days and rented this room for a friend that was in town for just one night. Mody was super nice and made a good price when I asked him too, and my friend agreed with me that his apartment is THE place to be in Barcelona: close to ALL the shops but in a super quiet street, in the heart of the Gothic just steps away from the Catedral, La Rambla, La Boqueria, Plaça Reial, and all the cool tapas bar and restaurants. It doesn't get much better than that!
