Isidre's parents met us when we arrived at the apartment. Although we spoke no Spanish and they spoke no English, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The apartment is well-maintained in a neighborhood rather than in the tourist area with convenient metro and bus stops. It can be noisy at night, so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. We loved the neighborhood with the local restaurants, bakeries, and food marts. And do check out La Pepita for dinner.
