My friends and I stayed at Gianluca's place for three nights. He was an incredibly gracious host and waited for us to arrive for a walk-through even after our flight was delayed until very late in the night. The place itself was spacious and it was lovely to have our separate bedrooms. The balcony was our favorite part to enjoy wine in the evening and tea in the morning. We had everything we needed: wi-fi, a safe for our passports and other items, and relaxing and comfortable bedrooms. The apartment is located about a 20 minute walk from the Gothic Quarter, but it was fun to go through the other neighborhoods on our way. The apartment was a little tricky to find (even in a taxi) so be sure to have a map handy! Overall a good place to stay like a local in Barcelona!
