Manel and Anna are warm and lovely hosts. They encouraged us to stay in touch throughout the process of traveling to accommodate for slight changes in schedule and make the check in seamless. Manel is also very efficient at responding to emails and any enquiries you may have. The flat is lovely and I cannot agree with a previous review that the mattresses are bad - we found them great. The location is amazing, we were able to walk everywhere, the beach, la Ramble, Sagrada Familia. If you are not keen to walk distances, two metro stations are within 5 minute's walking distance. There are shops nearby and a cute little kitchen that allows you to prepare your own meals if you wish. The only thing I would like to raise awareness about it the level of noise - this is a lovely listed building, but this also means that you can hear the alarm going off at your neighbour's in the morning, children loudly protesting about not wanting to go to school in the morning or early birds blow drying their hair at 4am. If you have a light sleep, I would recommend ear plugs :) Overall it was an extremely enjoyable stay though, and Manel is extremely nice, accommodating and sympathetic.
