We stayed in this wonderful apartment for six days and were greatly impressed by the location, friendliness and helpfulness of the host Xavi and the generous sleeping rooms and bathrooms. The mood is informal and comfortable. I think it is important to know that while the kitchen has all that you need, it is not a kitchen with cooking space and the shared common area is best for relaxing. Although our visit was in January, we made use of the terrace to bask in the sun, enjoy the incredible views and share conversation. You are near the metro and in walking distance of the old city and the beach. The neighborhood is safe and friendly. I have been to Barcelona many times, but this was my most relaxed experience.
