3 of us stayed at Manuel's during our visit in Barcelona and found the apartment to be a great size. Although not walking distance from the Gracia metro, the Muntaner tube station is easily accessible in addition to quite a few bus stops. The neighborhood is lovely and we felt extremely safe at all times, and also had a great choice of restaurants / pharmacies / supermarkets / shopping. Our flights were delayed and we really appreciated Lucia's flexibility in meeting us later.
