I very much enjoyed my stay with Néstor! He mostly only speaks Spanish but that just adds to the experience (and gave me a chance to practice!). Despite the language barrier, I was able to communicate with him without any issues. The location is in the Gràcia where you’ll find more locals and less tourists - a positive for me. That said, the more popular/touristy areas are really close by and walkable (maybe 20-30 min max to La Boqueria/Gothic Quarter). If you don’t want to walk, public transportation is pretty accessible, but taking a stroll through Barcelona was quite pleasing and fantastic. Lots of great bars/restaurants/shopping close by the apartment. There was some street noise at night but it wasn’t bad by any means. The room otherwise was spacious and the entire apartment clean. I would recommend Néstor’s place for a great time in Barcelona!
