Angel's assistant met us on our arrival and showed us the apartment. We stayed for a month and found it spacious, bright and comfortable. The building is nice - very safe - and the location is fantastic - walking distance to great restaurants and shopping and easy access to the metro. Also the area has a real 'neighbourhood' vibe as it is a comfortable distance (20 minute walk) from the main tourist areas of Las Ramblas and Plaza de Catalunya. We did experience some minor issues with some of the appliances in the apartment, but Angel and Joanna (the owner) were always very responsive and did their best to fix things quickly.
