The place is perfect, exactly like in the description: the environment is friendly and the neighborhood full of small bars/restaurants. The apartment is very well connected with the public transportation, 1 minute to the first metro station and from there just 2 stations until Plaza Catalunya or 1 until Plaza Espanya. Also you can enjoy a nice walk, just 8 blocks away from the famous street in Barcelona, Paseo de Gracia ( approx. 15-20 min).
Inside the flat everything is nicely done, beautiful original ceiling with interesting molds, 3 double bedrooms (each one with private balcony) and 2 single bedrooms that offers you enough space for your family/friends.
The internet connection is good, but come on you are here to stay on facebook???..Hahaha. The staircase of the building preserves some nice original features, only one apartment on each floor, which is good in mine opinion and do not worry, the elevator works just fine :)
If I remember well, Lucia was the girl who helped us (me and my friends) with the check in. Nice person, she was telling us about the neighborhood, restaurants, public transportation, so if you have any doubts you can ask her.
Beside the price of the apartment when you are doing the check in, you have to pay 0,75€ for each person multiply by number of days (tourist tax).
Bottom line, I strongly recommend this apartment and Manuel!

Thank you so much, we had a great time Manuel.
