If you want to feel Barcelona in its vibrant beauty, you should choose this apartment. There is no sea or city view but from the balcony, you can see a cozy courtyard and people doing their daily routine, and hear their voices.
In this building, next door to the entrance, there is an excellent cervezeria where locals are eating. it works from 6:30, so you can take an affordable and delicious breakfast in a genuine Barcelona atmosphere and go to an exploration)
And I should mention Minnie and Mickey - two giant cats. If you travel with a kid, they can help and free you in the evenings so you can freely enjoy a night city.
Andrea is an excellent host - she's so experienced that nothing annoying won't happen to you)
