We loved our stay in Jordi’s apartment in Exiemple. The location is super with the provenca metro station very very close which gets you to Placa de Catalunya in minutes. Passenger de Gracia is also really close and I was pleasantly surprised how quickly we walked to La Pedrera. Tons of restaurants in the area and we felt the bar beneath us was almost like our local. Jordi sent us a huge amount of local info in an email and getting in was really easy. The apartment is super clean, really spacious for us as a couple and the terrace is fabulous. Sitting on the terrace in the evening enjoying a glass of wine and looking out over the city was the icing on the cake. I would say it is a tight squeeze for 5 but perhaps for a couple with small children. There are two bathrooms with showers in each. There’s a small supermarket literally beneath the apartment block for buying small supplies but to be honest we rarely stayed in as the city is there to explore. I love Barcelona and usually stay in the born Area but I really wanted to stay in a new area to me and Jordi’s apartment feels like you are in a real local part of the city. Would be delighted to recommend. Definitely plan to return.
