We are a family of four and the apartment had everything we were looking for; clean, good location, functional elevator and not too noisy. Armando was really hospitable and friendly and responded quickly. The metro is on the next corner and a bus stop close by. For those who prefer to go to an area where there are less tourists, and more authentic with locals hanging out I recommend Gracia which is in a walking distance from the apartment. But altogether we had a really good time in Barcelona and people there are very friendly and easy going.
