Carlos has a lovely apartment in the heart of the gothic quarter, right in the center of the coolest part of Barcelona. Nearly everything you could want is in walking distance, and the cute little terrace is a wonderful bonus. Everything, from the strong water pressure in the shower to the fresh fruit in the living room, makes you feel right at home. Definitely stay here if you’re in town to explore Barcelona.
One thing to be aware of - Barcelona is an old city, and as a result, I think the sewage system is pretty old school; don’t be surprised if you get an occasional whiff of it while outside. But this did not hinder our enjoyment at all, and is entirely out of Carlos’s control. We had a phenomenal time!
