Designy, quiet, relaxt apartment with nice little restaurants and bars, small supermarket, breakfast diner just around the corner. 5 minute walk to metro, 15 to La Rambla. Near el rival. Don't miss cafe restaurant Ocana at Placa Reial for nice meal and Harlem Jazz Club with live music right behind it. Nicolas is a good host. You have to climb stairs to get all the way up to the apartment, but worth it.
