We stayed in Emil's place for a whole week during Sonar festival. Emil is always ready to help and give tips about Barcelona, but if you want privacy you will feel like in a hotel room. Room is fully equipped with private bathroom, small balcony, TV, A/C and even a small fridge for drinks. Towels and gels were included. Bed is very comfortable and has space beneath to keep your luggage. Additionally we were given tokens for free croissant with orange juice or coffee in a cafe opposite the street. Flat is located just above metro station which can take you in less than 20 mins to all tourist destinations in BCN, if you would like to chill on the beach you can take bus D20 which takes 20 mins to Barceloneta beach. Area of Poble Sec/Sant Antoni where flat is located is full of great restaurants and tapas bars. Personally I recommend Bodega 1900 (booking required). Emil is really friendly and easy going, he let us to keep luggage in a flat as our flight back was late in the evening. Shower is quite small, but if you are thin it's not a big problem. Only drawback I can think about is the street which is quite laud, therefore sleeping with open window is not possible and no access to the kitchen. For us it was a perfect stay and we would definitely recommend Emil's place for anyone visiting Barcelona!
