Fernando was a great host. Nice place, in a good location. We had two kids with us, so the bunk beds were perfect for them. The apartment is not huge, but spacious enough. Nice small patio for morning coffee (which there was plenty of in the apartment to start us off). Just a block from the Urgell metro stop, from which you can access the rest of the city easily (the Barcelona Metro is very easy to use, buy the multi day pass). Also within walking distance of El Raval and about a 20 min walk from the Gothic Quarter.
