I would highly recommend Joan's place when you visit Barcelona and you want to stay away from the noisy, crowded parts of Barcelona.
Joan is a great host. He let us check in the early morning 9:30am, so we could visit Sagrada Familia without our luggage. The apartment was perfect for our group of three.
It is very clean, equipped with all necessary bathroom and kitchen items.
The location is very convenient. Sagrada is only 10 minutes away which allows you to visit it for free on Saturday evening mass or early morning Sunday mass.
Also, next door to the apartment is a very small, local take out tienda with delicious croquetas, paellas, and sweet pastry.
Joan helped us to arrange the taxi and he made sure the driver will be on time, 4:30am.
This is a 5 star place.
