Very quiet and cozy neighborhood. Close to metro stations (Camp de L'arpa and Clot), although if you like to walk, you are not far from the Sagrada Familia and the rest of the heart of Barcelona. Just a few blocks away from the apartment is a pedestrian walkway (Carrer de Rogent), which hosts great local bakeries, grocers, boutiques, and bars. We loved this neighborhood! Very local feel, not touristy at all.
Although we never met Romain, Sergi (adorable house kitten) kept us great company. Romain was out of town during our stay, but we felt very at home. The room and flat are as described. We slept well. Romain's friend met us at the the metro station to give us the keys. Very nice people all around.
