We stayed at Rachid's place for 5 nights while visiting Barcelona. It is in a great neighborhood with shops and restaurants and 2 subway stations within walking distance. This was our second trip to the city, and we have stayed in this area both times. The street itself is pedestrian-only so you can easily step outside and get food and drinks right on the block (esp. recommended are the empanadas at Rekons 2 doors down!). Very nice to have air conditioning units in the apartment to cool down quickly after a hot day exploring the city. There was instant coffee and a bottle of water provided that we appreciated. The washing machine was also very useful! Thanks for hosting, Rachid!
