We absolutely loved Cyril's gorgeous Barcrlona apartment. First it was so charming - exactly like the pictures, they've done a great job renovating with new appliances and fixtures while paying homage staying true to the original style of the building. Second, everything that you could possibly need is either directly downstairs, or within. 5 minute walk. The Sant Antini market is four blocks away, MacBa is a 5 minute walk and El Born is a 15-20 minute walk.
Additionally Cyril and his wife were supper accommodating when we requested to drop our bags off early. If you want to be centrally located in a lively neighborhood for the true Barcelona experience, look no further.
