The location of the apartment wad perfect everything thing you needed was within 20 mins walking distance or roughly five euros cab fare away..in fact theres no need to use the metro at all. Supermarkets are everywhere so provisions are easy with good choice.
Giovanni is a great host, young yet mature and very eady going. He will help you with anything and even went out and bought fans for the childrens rooms.. which was nice. He goes that extra mile to see that your are ok.
He'll give you advice and tips should u ask, and is a very trustworthy and honest likeable good guy.
As for Barcelona ..if you've never been..
Its a beautiful clean cosmopolitan city that surprised and impressed me everywhere i went.. plenty to see and do.. a week wasnt enough and i cant wait to return. My favourite city being English is London however being a coastal city AND has great weather.. it holds an edge... your in for a treat!
Thankyou Giovanni for provided your apartment as a gateway to your wonderful city :)
