Manel's place is well located. A quick 8minute walk to La Rambla. On the same street at La Carrer de Carme, there are great restaurants to eat and drink. Our favorite was the Mino Restaurante. Manel's place is very spacious. Our only real problem was the bathroom situation. The tiles were so old that the water would seep through and flood the bathroom after taking a shower or after flushing the toilet. The hot water was also not consistent. It would change back to cold right after. Manel was nice enough to check up on the situation and was responsive. Hope he has this fixed soon! The apartment was clean but you know it is already old. Needs a little renovation. The neighborhood is ok since there's a lot of people walking at night but it's at the end of the street and some neighbors were a little noisy.
