We stayed in Manuel's place for five days and it was just perfect. You have everything you need in the flat and the surroundings including nice bars and great restaurants. Most of the best places can be reached by foot as it is very central. Its easy to get to El Gotico or El Born, to the beach and the harbour as well as La Rambla. For that reason you won't really need tickets for public transport. The flat is clean and has everything to wish for including a nice terrace. We would warmly recommend the flat as the communication with Manuel was very easy and fast. If you stay in Barcelona with some friends and you want to get to know the most famous places as well as nontouristic and authentic insights this is the place to be. Thank you Manuel.
