I spent a very nice week at Eduard’s place. The apartment is comfortable and matches the photos, communication was quick and easy, and I really liked the neighborhood — some might find it a little far from all the touristy things, but I preferred it; very authentic and local, with plenty of restaurants and bars within a few blocks and the tram and two metro stations within ten minutes’ walk. The beach is about a 20 minute walk. I’d recommend this place for independent travelers who prefer a more local experience and don’t mind a little bit of walking (Barcelona is fairly flat, so it’s easy!). There were a couple minor cleanliness issues, but I’m picky and it was still cleaner than my house usually is :)
The elevator was a nice perk and the washing machine was great to have as well!
